1. You should look into pre-paid legal services. Often your employer or credit card companies will offer it at a reduced rate instead of choosing an attorney out of the phone book. This seems like a complicated matter that would be easy to mess up as a do-it-yourselfer, and an attorney may have a better plan for you to resolve this.
2. talk to a realtor about selling it. we have standard contracts and know good attorneys.
3. Even if you sign the purchase agmt w/out the other person, the property cannot be conveyed without the signature of the other person on title. Since that person is still in bankruptcy, his assets are in the jursidiction of the bankruptcy court esp. if they were attached. I recommend you get legal advice from an estate attorney since you do not wish to alert the BK court of the impendign sale.
