Am I still legally responsible in any way if she defaults on the loan?

Lawrence Joseph Marraffino
Answered by attorney Lawrence Joseph Marraffino (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Lawrence J. Marraffino, PA
The answer is a definite no. The fact that it does not show on your credit report is a good thing since it will not bring down your credit rating. You will not be responsible if she defaults.

Who owns our house after bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Ajibola Oluyemisi Oladapo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Dearbonn Law Offices PLLC
Note that in a bankruptcy, you can never discharge a debt secured with collateral such as real property for instance. So even if you file bankruptcy, your debt and your lien remains the same, and you may either re-affirm the debt by continuing to pay the mortgage or go delinquent and relinquish the house. It is not uncommon for loan owners to sell the loan to other companies as it has happened in your own case,. In any case, your name is still on the deed and the lenders are still your lien holders, your filing bankruptcy has not changed the ownership, even though the owners of the loan may have changed. all you need do is continue paying your mortgage and you will be sure to keep the house for as long as you are fulfilling this obligation.
