Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Indiana
My x-husband and I have a home with both our names on the title - we both filed individual bankruptcies - he re- affirmed on the home I did not but we never had my name taken off. He is trying to do a deed-in-lieu or short sale now to prevent a foreclosure that neither of us want but we are told we both have liens on the home from creditors that were dismissed in our bankruptcies but that neither of our lawyers bothered to have taken off - his lawyer is no longer around, mine says dont' worry it doesn't affect you - I would like this to work out amicabily so what can we do about these liens - one is a second mtg. in my name only but that one we expected there - the others are medical and credit card debt.that we never knew placed liens on the property and we thought bankrupty cleared everything up and gave you a fresh start.....we dont' have a bunch of money to hire attorneys again - is there anything we can do to clear this title?

Foreclosure is the easiest route. If he does not want that, hire a new lawyer.
