Q: My brother sold family land to me and I haven’t gotten it put in my name. He filed bankruptcy without telling me.

Will I be able to transfer the land into my name? I trusted him and didn’t think I needed anything, except a receipt from purchasing. Is there anything I can do to sort it out? My husband and I are approved for a loan with the land.
