Generally the evidence offered regarding the transferor’s intention should be contemporaneous with the transfer or close to it: Jafar-Gholizadeh v.

In its quest to ascertain the transferor’s intention at the time of the transfer, the court can consider post-transfer conduct but caution should be exercised.
