A debtor who violates N.R.S. 205.350 by removing or selling his property for the purposes of defrauding credits can be charged with a gross misdemeanor offense. However, it is important to note that this offense is an offense that a defendant can be convicted of only if a prosecutor is able to prove intent beyond a reasonable doubt.
Proving someone’s intent can be a challenge, so many defendants are able to avoid conviction by raising doubts in the minds of the jury about whether the defendant’s actions in removing or selling the property were motivated by an attempt to defraud creditors.
