Is there a way to stop my mortgage co-signer from assuming the property title

My husband and brother are both on title and mortgage of our home. We were told that if there was no equity in the home and we kept up the payments that bank would probably let us keep it. Based on the appraisal the trustee said they would not be selling the home because there would be nothing left for creditors. Now, we get a call out of the blue saying that my brother, the co-signor, has paid to have my husband`s name removed from the title so he can sell it. What law allows him to do this? Can we stop him? We have made all of our payments and my husband has done all of his duties as a bankrupt. My brother does not live in the house and we paid him out his entire investment plus interest when he moved out. PLEASE respond. My trustee is not returning my calls.

You will have to contact a lawyer for this one. This is no longer a bankruptcy / insolvency issue, but a legal issue that is outside of the realm of the trustee.
