The company I own is going bankcrupt, can I give my half of the equity away as a cash gift to avoid the courts getting it or is it safe in my boyfriends name / account? Thank you

Posted - 13 May 2008 : 18:13:36 Hi Rebecca and welcome to the forum.
The Official Receiver has been doing this for quite a while now so will be accutely aware of any assets sold or given away prior to br.
if you give it away then the OR will require it back - and has the legal power to recover the asset. He will certainly find the money.
Why is your business going Br ? is it a Ltd company or are you trading under a trading name. Also what level of debts are there.
Depending upon the value of the debt and the value of the equity you may have several other options.
I would really suggest you speak to one of our forum experts to review your options before you get into hot water with the equity situation.
