It was in foreclosure and he filed bankruptcy, not sure what is happening now but we had a home equity line on the home, will I be required to pay that back or will the foreclosure take care of it?
Answer: -The bankruptcy will postpone the auction for approximately 2 months, then it will be released and the foreclosure process will pick up where it left off. If no one bids at the auction, the junior lien holders have the option of filing a deficiency judgment where they can come after you for the amount lost, or they can 1099 you for the amount they lost or they will do nothing.
