Rights given to the trustee or the debtor in possession to recover select transfers of property made prior to the filing of the bankruptcy case. If the recovered assets are not liquid, the assets will then be sold at a public auction and the funds from the sale may be used to pay creditors.
These powers include the ability to recover property that was the subject of a fraudulent transfer or preferential transfer by the debtor prior to the filing. A lien may also be avoided to the extent it interferes with a debtor's exemptions.
