Description: |
A true sale opinion is an attorney’s conclusion that transferred financial assets have been sold and are beyond the reach of a transferor’s creditors and that a court would conclude that the assets would not be included in the transferor’s bankruptcy estate. There are many considerations related to these types of opinions, perhaps most importantly is how they are evaluated and whether they can be relied on as evidence. In this course, we explore many of the burning questions as it relates to true sale opinions. |
