Portuguese term (edited): impugnação pauliana

The essence of an impugnação pauliano is that it is an application or action for a court order or judgment that sets aside, or void, transactions by a debtor with intent to defraud creditors by placing assets out of the creditors' reach. The vast majority of legal systems have such mechanisms.

Código Civil Português

Art.º 610

Impugnação pauliano
Os actos que envolvam diminuição da garantia patrimonial do crédito e não sejam de natureza pessoal podem ser impugnados pelo credor, se concorrerem as circunstâncias seguintes:
a) Ser o crédito anterior ao acto ou, sendo posterior, ter sido o acto realizado dolosamente com o fim de impedir a satisfação do direito do futuro credor;
b) Resultar do acto a impossibilidade, para o credor, de obter a satisfação integral do seu crédito, ou agravamento dessa impossibilidade.

Fraudulent Conveyance
Also known as fraudulent transfer. A transfer of a debtor's property made within two years before the filing of the bankruptcy petition (or other time limit set by state law) for which the debtor received little or no consideration while the debtor was (or was rendered) insolvent. Fraudulent conveyances also include transfers made with actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud creditors. In this context, fraudulent does not refer to a criminal fraud, but rather means only that the transfer has placed the assets out of the reach of creditors. Fraudulent conveyances may be reversed by the bankruptcy court. This is a major concern of lenders who do not want payments from the borrower or a guarantor to be rescinded.
In addition to the Bankruptcy Code's fraudulent conveyance provision, each state also has a fraudulent conveyance law which applies both inside and outside of bankruptcy.
