Bankruptcy lawyer at Orrock, Popka, Tucker Dolen
The best method is to amend ALL your schedules, statement of financial affairs, creditor matrix, statement of intent, and means test. ?The easy part is converting. There is a form for that also. Sometimes it is more expensive to be your own attorney.

If the loan was discharged in bankruptcy, you aren't personally liable for the debt any longer, but the deed of trust against the property remains, and if you quit making mortgage payments, the lender can foreclose and take the property. If you sell or refinance the property, thus paying off the lender, the lender will be happy and so will you. If you quit making payments, the lender can foreclose and get the property from you, but nothing else. Hope this answered your question.
