As such, a creditor may not recover for a fraudulent transfer against the debtor’s transferee. This “essentially prevents debtors from divesting themselves of assets, either to avoid paying pending claims or in anticipation of future claims by creditors.” When determining liability for a fraudulent transfer of assets, the court looks at the conduct and intent of the debtor, not the conduct or intent of any transferee. Under Ohio’s Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (“OUFTA”), a creditor may set aside a debtor’s fraudulent transfer of assets. 1336.04(A)(1), a transfer made or an obligation incurred by a debtor is fraudulent as to a creditor if the debtor made the transfer or incurred the obligation with actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor of the debtor. In this appeal, the First Appellate District reversed the trial court’s decision and found that a debtor’s liability to a creditor for a fraudulent transfer of assets does not extend to the debtor’s transferee.
