Can a quit claim deeded house be repo'd if the old owner files bankruptcy?
This is a common question, especially when done as a form of asset protection. The ability for the bankruptcy courts to bring the real estate asset into the proceedings will depend on a few factors. A few of those being if the asset was transferred less then 12 months prior to the bankruptcy, do the "old owners" still live in the property, and/or if there is a mortgage or other debt for which the property is subject to. Lastly, there are some people that attempt to quit claim property as an attempt to hide or shelter assets, both in bankruptcy and divorce matters, and if the courts suspect such they can create a hold new legal problem for both the "old owners" and the new deed holder.
