How much time do I have before I file bankruptcy if I own some land not my primary residence so that my name won''t be on the property when I file.

If you're talking about transferring title to the property without receiving reasonably equivalent value for the transfer, and you are transferring at a time when you are financially insolvent and owe debts, then that is the textbook definition of a fraudulent transfer.  The statute of limitations for bringing a fraudulent transfer action varies state by state, and I have no idea what it is in Arkansas.  Most states are between 4 and 8 years.  So, to answer your question, you would need to wait at least that long after the transfer is recorded before filing a bankruptcy case if you want to avoid the Trustee from being able to sue the recipient (transferee) for the value transferred, as well as possibly seek a denial of your discharge on bad faith grounds. Understand, however, that this is not just a bankruptcy issue.  If you engage in such a transfer, your existing creditors can sue up until the statute of limitations expires in state court (up until you file a bankruptcy case).
