Update of Recent Asset Protection Cases

This is a summary of important findings from recent asset protection cases:

1. In re Baldwin, 593 F.3d 1155 (10th Cir Ct. App. 2010). Bankruptcy trustee can avoid restrictions imposed by state law charging order statutes if a partnership agreement is not an executory contract. Also see In re Ehmann 2005 WL 78921 (Bankr.D.Ariz. 01/13/2005) which had similar facts and a similar holding.
