A. A transfer made or obligation incurred by a debtor is voidable as to a creditor whose claim arose before the transfer was made or the obligation was incurred if the debtor made the transfer or incurred the obligation without receiving a reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the transfer or obligation and the debtor was insolvent at that time or the debtor became insolvent as a result of the transfer or obligation.

B. A transfer made by a debtor is voidable as to a creditor whose claim arose before the transfer was made if the transfer was made to an insider for an antecedent debt, the debtor was insolvent at that time and the insider had reasonable cause to believe that the debtor was insolvent.

C. Subject to Subsection B of Section 56-10-16 NMSA 1978, a creditor making a claim for relief under Subsection A or B of this section has the burden of proving the elements of the claim for relief by a preponderance of the evidence.

Factors in determining voidable transfers. — The noninclusive enumeration of factors contained in 56-10-18 NMSA 1978 and this section are to be considered when determining whether the funds that ordinarily would be exempt from attachment under 42-10-2 and 42-10-3 NMSA 1978 should be set aside as the result of a voidable transfer.
