Text

The settlement should state that the claimant/defendant may not reacquire the forfeited property directly or indirectly through family members or others acting in concert with him or her. Family members who already own a partial interest in the forfeited property may, however, purchase the forfeited interest.

Chapter 11.B.8 of the Asset Forfeiture Policy Manual ("Reacquiring the property").
