Hi purpleness,
Unless he gets a discharge from his bankruptcy filing, I don't think you will be able to sell off the property.
Thanks

what is a discharge? his term was for 3 years which will be ending approx at the end of next month. do you think that it will be off then?
Hi purpleness!
Welcome to forums!
Well, a bankruptcy discharge helps the debtor to get relief from the personal liability for certain specified types of debts. Thus, the debtor is not legally required to pay any debts that are discharged. The discharge is a permanent order which prohibits the creditors of the debtor to take any action on discharged debts, including legal action and communications with the debtor, such as telephone calls, letters, and personal contacts.
As you have stated, I guess the person will get a discharge at the end of that 3 year term.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
