        Are your wife and MIL joint owners? Or is your wife an owner by right of Survivor-ship?

            A $10K property a few years ago is probably worth $5k today, if you can find a buyer with money or financing. Unless you've got a really good piece of property that is in demand, it's not worth much. You may have some wildcard exemption that can be used towards it, or if you really like it, you can always buy it back from the trustee if you can't exempt it.

            Good luck.

              You need to make sure of that. If this is the case, then your wife really does not own the property and it won't figure into a bankruptcy, unless your MIL passes (God forbid!) within 180 days of your 341 meeting.

              Now if your wife and MIL are joint owners, they each have an undivided half-interest in the property. As Frogger indicated, it probably won't be worth the trustee's time and money to go after it.
