Can I transfer assets before bankruptcy?
A bankruptcy trustee can recover assets transferred within one year of the bankruptcy filing where the debtor did not get reasonably equivalent value for the asset, or where the transfer was made with intent to hinder creditors. The "look back" period may be even longer under the law of your state, giving the trustee that same state law look back period in which to recover assets.
