My name is on my parents house and their bank accounts

Should my name be removed? I am considering filing soon, but this has me really worried. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I would get it removed ASAP, and wait about 6 months before I filed.

[Help!]

No, you can't just remove your name. If your name is on the title for a house that has any possibility of any equity, doing so would constitute fraudulent conveyance of an asset! Don't do a thing until find a good lawyer and get some advice. There is a two year look back period into assets in our district.

Talk to a lawyer. In fact, make appointments with a few different ones for sound advice.

In your shoes, I'd be worried too! How much debt do you have?

This won't be the popular answer but I'd get your name removed asap and get powers of attorneys set up and other vehicles. And don't file yet. Who's to say you didn't change your mind and decided to try to pay down. Do your research and plan accordingly!
