Brother's bankruptcy / debt. Share house mortgage.

They facts that you've shared point to the conclusion that your brother's interest will be examined by his bankruptcy trustee. If his interest in the property represents some amount of non-exempt equity then the trustee will be interested in recovering that amount or some portion of that amount to distribute to your brother's creditors. Given the current down market in real estate however, these situations generally do not pan out for the trustee so you may have some leverage to get out from under this claim. But all of that is speculation until I hear the details. If interested call our office to discuss: we are located in Bolingbrook and practice before the Bankruptcy Court in Joliet all the time.
