Mass. General Laws c.190B § 3-710

Power to avoid transfers

This is an unofficial version of a Massachusetts General Law.

Section 3-710

The property liable for the payment of unsecured debts of a decedent includes all property transferred by the decedent by any means which is in law void or voidable as against creditors, and subject to prior liens, the right to recover this property, so far as necessary for the payment of unsecured debts of the decedent, is exclusively in the personal representative.

Comment

See, also, Section 6-201, which saves creditors' rights in regard to non-testamentary transfers effective at death.

Massachusetts comment 

See G.L. c. 230, § 5 whereby an heir, legatee or creditor may bring an action in the personal representative's name if necessary.
