        A  fiduciary may, for the benefit of creditors or others interested in
      property held in trust, treat as void any act done,  or  disposition  or
      agreement  made  in  fraud  of  the  rights  of  any creditor, including
      himself, interested in such property,  and  a  person  who  fraudulently
      receives,  takes  or  in  any  manner  interferes with the property of a
      deceased or insolvent person is liable to such fiduciary or  a  receiver
      for  such  property  or the value thereof, and for all damages caused by
      such act to the trust estate.    A  creditor  of  a  deceased  insolvent
      debtor,  having  a  claim against the estate of such debtor exceeding in
      amount the sum of one hundred dollars may, without obtaining a  judgment
      on  such  claim,  in  like  manner, for the benefit of himself and other
      creditors interested in such property, treat as void  any  act  done  or
      disposition  or  agreement  made  in  fraud  of creditors or maintain an
      action to set aside such act, disposition or agreement.  Such claim,  if
      disputed,  may  be  established  in  such action.   The judgment in such
      action may provide for  the  sale  of  the  property  involved,  when  a
      disposition  thereof  is  set aside, and for the payment of the proceeds
      thereof into  the  appropriate  surrogate's  court  to  be  administered
      according to law.
