If you can prove you paid the money to him ,you will likely need to file a suit, joining in anyone trying to sell the property as a party, along with your brother in law, and try to get a Court order transferring title into your name, free of the claims of his creditors. Move quickly on this one. If the bankruptcy trustee is trying to sell the property, you will likely need to file in Bankruptcy Court to halt that sale.
