This is unlikely but depending on the state you live in still possible. In Connecticut, a debtor can exempt seventy five thousand dollars of equity in their home. If the amount of equity in your home is less, than his portion of the house is safe.

I don't see why not but you cannot force him to do so.

Only if he volunteers to do so or a court orders him to do so.

If your boyfriend's trustee expressed no interest in his share of the home, your boyfriend's interest is unaffected by the bankruptcy, except for whatever mortgage liens are in place.You can ask him, but you can't force him to quit-claim his interest.

No, that would be fraud. You'll be responsible for the debt yourself, and I assume he'll surrender his ownership in it. If there's no equity in it, or too little, it won't be taken and the lender won't foreclose if you keep on paying.

A person does not get rid of property they own in bankruptcy, only the debt obligation.

Once the bankruptcy discharge is done, the debtor can quitclaim their interest in real property.

No that would be a fraudulent transfer and voidable.

If he is in bankruptcy he cannot transfer assets without court consent. His lawyer should have told him that.
