My question involves bankruptcy in the state of: Texas.
I have been divorced over two years now. We had no joint property to split, so the divorce was very simple. My ex-husband forgot that he had put both of our names on the deed to a small piece of land with an older, run-down house that had been in his family for 40 years. Of course I didn't want it- I told him to draw up the papers to take my name off, and I would gladly relinquish my part. I didn't hear from him for two years. He is remarried and moved, and now the home has renters. I assumed he had me removed somehow (didn't know better then).
I have been preparing to file no-asset Chapter 7, then by coincidence through an eBay security question, found out that I still own property.
I know that if I sign over so close to filing, it can still be seized by a trustee. What I am wondering is, is there was some type of court order that my ex could get, forcing me to relinquish the property? Then it would not appear suspicious.
