If your son paid you the value (equity) of your home, you will have to disclose the transfer, but it will have no effect on your bankruptcy. If you gave the property to your son for free, and there was equity in the property, probably two years, if you gave the property knowing you were insolvent and intending to deprive your bankruptcy estate of the asset.
