My name was removed from a deed about a year ago. Can I still file chapter 7. Will there be a negative impact?

You have to disclose any transfers of property made within 2 years prior to filing your bankruptcy case, so being "removed" from title 1 year ago would require it to be included in your Chapter 7 petition and the transfer is subject to being recovered by the Trustee in your case.  It is also a potential basis for denial of your discharge depending on the value of your interest in the property that you "removed." This is textbook fraudulent transfer in that you gave up ownership of an asset and received less than "reasonably equivalent value" for it.   Your family member can try to argue that you only had legal title, but not equitable title, and that might work, but it's going to require proof and it's going to get complicated. Even after 2 years it's not an automatic solution to your problem, since many states have statutes of limitation longer than 2 years for fraudulent transfers and the Trustee in your case can use the state law to go after the transferee (family member). A lot of this depends on the amounts involved and other considerations, so you should check with a bankruptcy attorney in your area for more details. Mark J.
