Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Pennsylvania
We live in Pennsylvania, I know the laws differ in differen't states, and I have researched on the internet alot, but I am left with a couple questions. My parents have been divorced for over 7 years, my mother took everything, his beautiful big home, his stocks, and all of his money, my father is 67 years old and is paralyzed on his entire left side from head to toe due to a massive stroke over 13 years ago. He racked up credit card debt and now the creditors sold his debt to another agency which is harrasing him stating they are going to sue him and take his property from him.
He only has a trailer ( a mobile home )
Two vehicles
Both the trailer and the vehicles are in both his and my name, we have a joint title on all 3.
My question is, since his personal property is paid off, all of it was paid off in cash, and since it is in his and my name and I do not have any debt, can they take these personal properties from him since my name is on the title/deed?

Yes, they can take assets that are jointly owned if they obtain a judgment. Your father should consider a bankruptcy depending on the value of the assets.
