Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California
If my name is on the Deed of Trust of my home that has become foreclosed by the lender in August, 2010, can I include this debt in my Chapter 13 Bankruptcy case, even though the loan borrower is my ex-spouse (not me)? I'm on title, but not on loan.

Usually people file Chapter 13 before they get foreclosed on, and that stops the foreclosure. If you do get foreclosed on in California, normally there's no deficiency judgment and no debt to resolve.
