Section 27-9-3-14 - Transfers made or obligations incurred as fraudulent(a) Every transfer made, or suffered, and every obligation incurred by an insurer within one (1) year before the filing of a successful petition for rehabilitation or liquidation under IC 27-9 is fraudulent as to then existing and future creditors if made or incurred without fair consideration, or with actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud either existing or future creditors.(b) A transfer made or an obligation incurred by an insurer ordered to be rehabilitated or liquidated under IC 27-9, which is fraudulent under this section, may be avoided by the receiver, except: (1) as to a person who in good faith is a purchaser, lienor, or obligee for a present fair equivalent value; and(2) that any purchaser, lienor, or obligee, who in good faith has given a consideration less than fair for such transfer, lien, or obligation, may retain the property, lien, or obligation as security for repayment. The court may, on due notice, order any transfer or obligation to be preserved for the benefit of the estate, and in that event, the receiver shall succeed to and may enforce the rights of the purchaser, lienor, or obligee.
(c) A transfer of property, other than real property, is made or suffered when it becomes so far perfected that no subsequent lien obtainable by legal or equitable proceedings on a simple contract could become superior to the rights of the transferee under section 18 of this chapter.(d) A transfer of real property is made or suffered when it becomes so far perfected that no subsequent bona fide purchaser from the insurer could obtain rights superior to the rights of the transferee.(e) A transfer that creates an equitable lien is not perfected if there are available means by which a legal lien could be created.(f) Any transfer not perfected before the filing of a petition for liquidation shall be treated as if it were made immediately before the filing of the successful petition.(g) The provisions of subsections (b) through (f) apply whether or not there are or were creditors who might have obtained any liens or persons who might have become bona fide purchasers.(h) Any transaction of the insurer with a reinsurer is fraudulent and may be avoided by the receiver under section 13 of this chapter if:(1) the transaction consists of the termination, adjustment, or settlement of a reinsurance contract in which the reinsurer is released from any part of its duty to pay the originally specified share of losses that had occurred before the time of the transaction, unless the reinsurer gives a present fair equivalent value for the release; and(2) any part of the transaction took place within one (1) year before the date of filing of the petition through which the receivership was commenced.As added by Acts1979 , P.L. 255, SEC.1.
