As long as you have no equity in the property then the filing of a bankruptcy won’t have any impact on the property. If you do have equity this changes things dramatically as 50% of that equity would relate to you and would be realized on as part of the bankruptcy. But if there is no equity there is nothing that you would need to be concerned with.
