If the case was dismissed, then the bankruptcy court has no jurisdiction. You can transfer title as you normally would in your state, subject to the same rules in your state.

I don't know what it means for a voluntary bankruptcy, to be 'signed.' I assume you mean that is was not discharged, because you chose voluntarily to dismiss it and pay your debts. But it also appears that some other person paid off your mortgage for you. You presumably owe that person whatever she/he/it/they paid on your behalf, but you still own your house. It would surely be best, however, to work things out with the source of the funds so there is no future conflict or litigation.
