Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Florida
I had a bankruptcy that was discharged over two and a half years ago which contained a property that I surrendered. The mortgage company still has not foreclosed on the property and I received foreclosure papers from the homeowner's association which indicate a personal judgment for unpaid dues and maintanence. Can I be held personally liable even though I surrendered the property?

Check with your bankruptcy attorney about this. If you did not have an attorney, you need to consult with one to find out whether the judgment is good, and which debts were actually discharged. There are special rules regarding the HOA and without seeing the documents that you are talking about no one can give you advice.
Abolute Law It's possible. The bankruptcy does't accomplish the legal surrender. If someone injured themselves on your property after the bankruptcy was filed, they could still sue.
