Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Illinois

Bancrupcy and home sale

My sister has refinanced several times to include all of her debt & now must sell her home to pay off enormous debt. Can she sell her home to a family member (me) for a nominal price and file for bancrupcy. Thus, she would be able to stay in the home, as she would be able to pay ''rent''

Re: Bancrupcy and home sale

No she cant transfer it to you for a nominal amount. The debt would still be on the house and you and your sister would be defrauding the creditors.

There are alternatives.
