First, all this happened with my wife's BK's blessing. My wife had no intention of filing for bankruptcy except she thought creditors coming after her would be coming after me, because the mortgage to my house was still under her name. (We are in awesome terms her and I. We are better friends now than ever.) So she went and explained the situation to her bk attorney who told her that, "He (meaning me) will have no problem. Just have him file the quit claim deed before you file bankruptcy." She advised me of this and I filed immediately. At the time I was not too concerned, because I never in a million years thought that my ownership would be seriously questioned when I had been living in the house, paying all the bills, and I had a quit claim deed signed 6 years earlier.
During her bk hearing, my wife said that the trustee asked her about the loan on my property and she simply said, "That's my ex-husband's property". That that was that. She says she was literally five minutes in front of him and all was done.
A few months later, just before Xmas, I get the summons for the lawsuit saying that the transfer was made when my wife was insolvent (at the time of my filing of the quit claim deed) and that, therefore, the judge should avoid the transfer.
The execution was witnessed by a notary public.
No, the settlement agreement was never filed with the court. We signed it and had it notarized the same day as the quit claim deed (2006).
