Hank,
I’ve been in a similar situation where the seller of a subject to later files BK.
All I had to do was show the BK attorney my DEED to the property, and case was closed.
Even though the loan is still in her name, she does not legally own the asset anymore so it does not need to be included in the BK.
I hear the craziest things – usually from an attorney – or even worse a realtor or a mortgage broker.
Just last week, I got a call from someone I bought a house from subject to 8 years ago. She was frantic because she said the loan was still in her name and she wanted to buy another house. The mortgage broker told her it was ILLEGAL for me to buy a house and leave the loan in place. ILLEGAL! I said show me the law! Anyway, on that one, the house was sold 4 years ago and the loan was paid off.
Often these mortgage brokers, realtors or attorney don’t even know what they were talking about and their comments make us look like criminals.
