Central District Consumer Bankruptcy Attorney's Association

As between the lender and the debtor the loan is secured, because of deed of trust recorded against the collateral, regardless of what was done in the family law court. The lender was not a party to the MSA and so is not bound by it, and neither is its interest in the collateral. In this instance (and I have had such cases) I list the loan in Schedule D (secured) and list the real property as collateral for the loan, disclosing the transfer in the SOFA and disclosing that the debtor has no interest in the real property in Schedule A.

It is a first mortgage for $600K on a principal residence. Debtor no longer lives there and she deeded it to her husband per the divorce agreement. He lives in the house.

Subject: [cdcbaa] Chapter 13 debtor on loan but doesn't own house
Debtor deeded house to ex-husband per the divorce agreement. Debtor is still
on loan (with ex-husband) and Debtor is filing a Chapter 13. She doesn't
have any interest in the house and doesn't want it. Is the loan treated as
an unsecured claim in her bankruptcy and will lender get paid pro rata share
like the credit cards? If it was a secured claim, she would just surrender
the house, but she can't do that now because she no longer has an interest
in the house.
Ex-husband who lives in the house is not paying on the loan for the next
five months because of some arrangement he got through the Obama Plan. Not
sure if that is relevant or whether that affects the debtor at all. She did
not sign off on whatever deal it was he got.

Well if it is unsecured, then she is above the limit for a Chapter 13 because it is $600K. That's why I want to know how to classify it.

Holly,
Who cares? Is plan a pot plan? If so the same money would go to another creditor.
