In California Civil Code Section 3439 governs transfers to defraud creditors. Under the case, Yaesu Electronics Corp v. Tamura (1994) 28 Cal. App. 4th 8, 13 ” a fraudulent conveyance is a transfer by a debtor to a third person undertaken with the intent to prevent a creditor from reaching that interest to satisfy its claim.” Under the California Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (CA Civ.
