31A-27a-503. Unauthorized postpetition transfers.

  • (1) Except as otherwise provided in this section, the receiver may avoid a transfer of an interest of the insurer in property, or an obligation incurred by the insurer, that is:

    • (a) if the transferee or obligee takes it for value and in good faith; and
