My stuff being taken and that if they are not the correct bank accounts I'm ok
The bankruptcy will not be discharged until next year. The trustee is receiving monthly payments and that cannot be paid off early. Is it possible to transfer the title to the name executor of the will WITHOUT the will being registered?

they are threatening legal action, how can we be responsible when we don't own the house anymore. Also The bank was notified that we did move out
