PC is joint tenant with brother in house in which PC does not live and for
which PC never contributed a penny and only lent name to get loan. House
has some equity -- net equity would be $13,000 to be split in 2 if shares
are equal (as they are presumed to be in a true joint tenancy). There is
case law saying and facts supporting that the presumption of joint tenancy
can be rebutted here to show that it is just a co tenancy despite the
current title and PC's share may be nothing. Would a quitclaim deed from
her as a joint tenant to herself as a co-tenant be considered an avoidance
transfer? Of course, the ultimate question is whether we can resist an
attach by a Chapter 7 Trustee in a cost-efficient basis. That is, if the
Trustee tries to threaten a sale, would it be too costly to prove it was
always a co-tenancy so that the Trustee would not even bother in the first
place. Would a transfer from her brother to both of them again but as
co-tenants be the better way to pre-bankruptcy plan (as Judge Sotomayor
says is permissible)?
