The real and personal property liable for the payment of claims includes all property transferred by the decedent with intent to defraud his creditors or any of them, or transferred by any other means which is in law void as against his creditors or any of them, and the executor or administrator may recover the property, so far as necessary for the payment of claims, and take such steps as are necessary to recover the same.
