Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Indiana

We recently arranged with our mortgage company to do a deed in liue - however their lawyer told them it cannot be done due ot several liens placed on the property.....the second mtg. loan we were aware of but the credit card and medical ones we were not. We both filed bankruptcy and both were granted and we have the papers that show the amounts of these liens has been dismissed in the bankruptcies - we are no longer responsible for them. We have went to the bankruptcy court, recoreders office etc to see what we needed to do to have these removed - they bring up nothing on our reports showing they exist. Is there something that an attorney can pull up that is different from what they do to show these liens. No one we have checked with in the court system can find them.

What can we do?

If the debts were reduced to judgment BEFORE you filed bankruptcy, those debts may still be valid liens against your property, even if your personal liability has disappeared. You really need to have your bankruptcy attorney check this out, or hire another one to deal with these.
