Yes, if I understand the facts correctly. Fraudulent conveyance issue
under Section 548.
If title was conveyed to PC and brother as individuals and not as trusteesof a trust, with parents having a life estate, then the parents' trust isirrelevant since the property is not an asset of the trust. The questionis what was his remainder interest worth when PC quit claimed it away? What could the 50% remainder interest be sold for taking into account property
value and parents life expectancy? PC is no longer entitled to assert anyexemption in the remainder interest as a result of the fraudulent
conveyance so the remainder interest value does not need to be all that substantial
for it to pique a trustee's interest.
Furthermore the debtor gifted away the interest. Was the value of the
gift more than the annual $13,000 gift tax exclusion amount to each grantee of
the quit claim conveyance? If more than the $13,000 did he file the required gift tax return?
