Hi mrm,

I don't think a quitclaim deed would help you in any way. If you file a quitclaim deed and transfer the property to your mother, you will not be able to file bankruptcy within a year. If you do so, the bankruptcy trustee can consider this as a fraudulent transfer. I would suggest you to contact a bankruptcy attorney and take his opinion in this regard.

Hi!

Welcome to forums!

To roma,

If 8 years have passed since you filed a bankruptcy, then you can file another bankruptcy now. You should contact your bankruptcy attorney and discuss your case in details with him. He will let you know which chapter of bankruptcy is best suited for you.

To duffy,

You'll be able to file bankruptcy if you have a property. Why are you planning for bankruptcy? Is it because of your property?

if,after determining the unencumbered equity of your you find that you do have substantial equity, the next step is to see if you can protect it in a chapter 7 bankruptcy by using the homestead exemption or by using a wildcard exemption.
