Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, No. 24-1101 · judgment July 1, 2025

Questions presented
-
Whether the transfer avoidance provisions of the bankruptcy code should give way to state law regarding transfers?
-
Whether an Affidavit of Sale, resulting from a mortgage foreclosure auction, suffices to thwart an avoidance under bankruptcy law when the deed accompanying the affidavit is void under state law for lack of a notarization, and recording the affidavit in the land records without a valid deed does not result in perfection of the transfer?
