Transfer of Property with Bona Fide Intent

In the context of preferential transactions, a "transfer of property with bona fide intent" refers to a situation where someone transfers their assets or property to another party genuinely, without any intent to defraud creditors or avoid legal obligations. This means the transfer is made openly and in good faith, rather than as a strategic move to favor one creditor over others. If a court later evaluates this transfer, it may uphold it if it finds that the transferor acted honestly and without an attempt to manipulate their financial situation to disadvantage other creditors.
