The answer to your question depends not on the deed but on the mortgage AND on how the bankruptcy plan is handled.

You should hire an attorney to protect your interests through your son's bankruptcy. Call someone who is located in your geographic area; if you need a referral, contact your county's bar association or the New York State Bar Association (www.nysba.org).

Good luck with it.
