Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York
Bankruptcy-1st and 2nd leins
Finalized bankruptcy 1/3/06. Neither the first or second liens were re-affirmed. Is there a way that we can walk away from the second lien and still remain in this home? Both liens are current with the payments.

I assume the liens are mortgages and the second lien is a second mortgage or home equity loan and therefore the answer is no.
They have a security interest in the property.
