H 4331 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to the uniform voidable transactions act

This bill updates Massachusetts' Uniform Voidable Transactions Act to modernize legal terminology and clarify procedures. It replaces "fraudulent" with "voidable" throughout the law, adds definitions for digital terms like "Electronic" and "Record," and specifies that creditors must prove claims by a preponderance of evidence. The changes primarily affect creditors and debtors involved in transactions challenged under the law, particularly those involving digital records or assets. Key provisions streamline how courts handle claims about asset transfers made before insolvency, ensuring clearer standards for when transactions can be reversed.
