Sixth Circuit Expands Preference Exposure for Tax Foreclosures
The Sixth Circuit held in Reinhardt v. Prince that a tax‑foreclosure transfer can be avoided as a preferential payment under the Bankruptcy Code.

The decision creates a new avoidance avenue for tax foreclosures that involve the sale of the property itself, while leaving the county’s secured tax claim intact.
