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.
A person that files for bankruptcy will more than likely have their credit score decline. This will not make them a good candidate for being a cosigner.
Filing for bankruptcy may enable you to recover your house from foreclosure. However the bankruptcy would entail dealing with your entire debt situation, not just the house.
If you are surrendering your house anyways, it is usually better for your credit score if you do it through bankruptcy. If your house is foreclosed on before you file bankruptcy, then your credit score is hit by both the foreclosure and the bankruptcy. If you let your house go back through bankruptcy, instead, then your credit score is only hit by a bankruptcy.

Yes. That is probably one of the times this would be the correct Chapter to use.
You will not lose your house unless there is a large amount of equity in it. You will need to reaffirm your rent to own agreement, however.
No, deeded is not a word whoever asked this question because deeded is already pural. Of course "deeded" is a word. The asker is referring to the verb "deed", not the noun "deed" hence its pluraliity has no bearing as a verb cannot be plural. "The grandfather deeded his house to his grandson."
