Hello everyone. I have been reading for a few weeks and just joined since I have a question I cannot find an answer to anywhere else. I helped my 18 year old son buy a car few years ago. He paid cash for the car with his savings but was little short so I loand him the rest. He paid me back about a year ago. There was no contract. The car is in his name only and I am the lien holder. I did this to make sure he paid me back. He paid me back about a year ago. I never got around to relase the lien. Is there going to be any problem with this if I release the lien prior to filing chapter 7? Would it be better to not release the lein to avoid any questions about transfer of assets? Do I need to wait a certian amount of time after the lien release? I do not want him to know I may be filing either. Second question, is there any risk giving information here? Could any information here be obtained by a trustee? Thanks in advance for the information.
