Unlimited Liability For Banks: Deposits As Fraudulent Transfers, Katherine Zampas
Unlimited Liability For Banks: Deposits As Fraudulent Transfers, Katherine Zampas
St. Mary's Law Journal
One of a trustee’s most valuable resources in bankruptcy proceedings is his avoidance powers. A trustee is charged with the duty to recover and recapture any property wrongfully removed from the estate by way of fraudulent transfer or preference. In some cases, a trustee has attempted to treat a debtor’s deposit into a bank account as a transfer, rendering it subject to his avoidance powers.

St. Mary's Journal on Legal Malpractice & Ethics
Issues arise daily in law practice about the duties owed by lawyers to nonclients with respect to funds or property entrusted to them. In resolving those issues, care must be exercised when interpreting state versions of Model Rule 1.15, the American Bar Association’s pattern ethics rule on safekeeping of funds and property. Otherwise, a lawyer’s duties to third persons may too readily encroach on the performance of obligations owed to clients, as well as on the legitimate interests of lawyers themselves.
As numerous authorities have recognized, lawyers are obliged to protect the property interests of third persons only if they …
The Rights Of An Illegitimate Child Post - Gomez V. Perez: A Legitimate Situation., Deborah J. Venezia
The Rights Of An Illegitimate Child Post - Gomez V. Perez: A Legitimate Situation., Deborah J. Venezia
St. Mary's Law Journal
Throughout Texas history the legal status of illegitimacy has prevented an illegitimate child from enjoying the right of parental support guaranteed to a legitimate child.

In response to Gomez, the Texas Legislature enacted Chapter 13 of the Texas Family Code (TFC) which provides for voluntary legitimation of an illegitimate child by the father. Section 13.01 gave an illegitimate child, whose natural father did not voluntarily acknowledge paternity, procedure to establish the parent-child …
