The only way to remove her from the deed is to file a partition action in the circuit court of the county where the property is located. The judge will order that the property be sold at auction on the courthouse steps. You buy it and only your name will be on the deed.

You also need to determine if the bankruptcy trustee retains any interest in the property.
