Does filing bankruptcy automatically remove my name from the deed to my home?

No.

Your name remains on the property until after foreclosure when you no longer own the property. You can try to qualify for a new loan at any time after bankruptcy.

Your interest in the home will be transferred by the creditor if you choose not to keep the property

No, this is a common misconception. Bankruptcy only releases you liability on the debt; it does nothing to remove your name from, or obligations associated with being on, a deed.

Your name is not removed from the deed by filing bankruptcy. You will continue to own the property until you transfer it by deed to someone else or it is transferred by Trustee's Deed after a foreclosure. Your name remains on the debt (promissory note or i.o.u) to the bank and the bank continues to have a lien (deed of trust in California) on the property for the amount you owe even if you transfer the title by deed to someone else. The bank can foreclose if you don't pay and sell the property and then, in some cases, sue you for the balance owed if the sale amount does not completely pay off what you owed. Bankruptcy can eliminate your liability for that deficiency if the bank does not get enough money at the foreclosure sale. Qualifying for a new loan is based on your credit score and income. Your credit score will not be good for several years because you will have to go through foreclosure or short sale to get rid of the house and/or bankruptcy to get rid of any personal liability remaining. Your question indicates you are confused about the bankruptcy process and what it means to own a house with a mortgage so you need to see a bankruptcy attorney for a consultation to get a better understanding of your situation and options.

Filing a bankruptcy does not remove your name from the deed. Your name will be removed once new owners purchase the home.

Your name stays on the house, until either the court sells it or the creditor gets permission to foreclose. In some cases you may even keep the house. It all depends on the individual case. This is one of many reasons it is vital that a lawyer be used in a case.

No. The lender will still have to go through a foreclosure to get the title to the property back. Bankruptcy will relieve your liability on the Note, which is the financial instrument that says you owe the money to the bank.

No. You can indicate an intent to surrender, and the lender will foreclose. When that happens your name is removed from the deed. After bankruptcy you probably can't buy another house for about 3 years, depending on income and savings.

Your name is not removed by filing bankruptcy it is removed by executing a deed to someone or by a deed under power by your bank or by deed executed by bankruptcy trustee.
