Title 6
Commercial Law — General Regulatory Provisions

Chapter 16
Uniform Voidable Transactions Act

R.I. Gen. Laws § 6-16-2

§ 6-16-2. Insolvency.

(a) A debtor is insolvent if, at a fair valuation, the sum of the debtor’s debts is greater than the sum of the debtor’s assets.

(b) A debtor who is generally not paying the debtor’s debts as they become due other than as a result of a bona fide dispute is presumed to be insolvent. The presumption imposes on the party against whom the presumption is directed the burden of proving that the nonexistence of insolvency is more probable than its existence.

(c) Assets under this section do not include property that has been transferred, concealed, or removed with intent to hinder, delay, or defraud creditors or that have been transferred in a manner making the transfer voidable under this chapter.

(d) Debts under this section do not include obligations to the extent they are secured by a valid lien on property of the debtor not included as an asset.
