Liability?
It may be correct that surrendering it through the petition is all you
should need to do to shift the burden to the bank; however, it gets
expensive not to take an affirmative step to end liability when cities start
citing the titleholder when the property is not taken care of, or, e.g., if
they have tenants, if utility service included in their rent is not
maintained and they complain to the Court system, etc.. To shift the burden
to the bank you'd need to sue for indemnity, which is expensive in itself,
usually prohitively for regular consumers.

1. Has anybody ever had this happen? -Yes, I've had it happen before.
2. Does debtor have any liability for: waste? premises liability? other?
--- If debtor is still on title, debtor is likely still liable. I've had a
client prepare and file a quitclaim deed back to the bank (situation is
simpler if there is only one mortgage on the property).
3. Is this insane or what? Not really insance. It's rather shrewd of the
banks, if you think about it.

foreclosure.
