She gets disability and wants me to take care of the money. The bank wants her to be a signer on my account. Can the IRS take my money in the account if they decide to go after her for back taxes? She did file bankruptcy but still

Is this possible??

She will have to pay off the back taxes in full. It will be better if your sister can negotiate with the IRS and get a payment plan to pay off the dues. This will help her in paying off the taxes in full. Thanks, Jerry

I did not reaffirm the debt. My unmarried sister was the cosigner on the three notes. My Chapter 7 bankruptcy was discharged over a year ago and I no longer have any personal obligation to repay the loans. Unfortunately, due to rental property vacancies, we have fallen a couple of months behind on the three mortgages and we are facing likely foreclosures. How are the banks likely to treat my cosigner (sister with same last name) if the banks foreclose? Anybody who is knowledgeable, please help.

If you have included the mortgage in your bankruptcy filing and got it discharged, then you're not personally liable for paying off the loan. You can contact an attorney and check out your rights in this regard. Feel free to ask if you've further queries. Sussane

I borrowed money from that account and then repaid it but she never removed me from it. Now that she has filed will I have to pay that debt off?

The lender can come after you in order to recover the dues. Thanks, Jerry

The house is in his name only with a mortgage with the bank and a second mortgage with a finance company I signed the paper with the finance company. The home is worth more than what is owed. Will they come after me and what if I do mnot have the money to pay it.

If your name is not mentioned on the mortgage docs as one of the co-borrowers, then the lender won't come after you to recover the debt. If you're one of the borrowers of the mortgage, then the lender will come after you for the payments. Feel free to ask if you've further queries. Sussane
