They would have to be. You do not go Bankrupt on certain things though. In BK you do not pick and chose what is included. All are given priorites and some are exempt fom being used and some exempt from being discharged. Secured debts get first call from the money from the sale of the asset securing them. (Some property taxes may well be secured debts). ALL your assets and all your debts are included. Your assets are used to pay your debts, the extra that can't be paid may be discharged. Taxes get a fairly high priority and will be paid in full before most other unsecured debts.

ALL your property (all your assets) AND all your liabilities are included...always..you do not pick and chose.

Secured debts. (and property taxes are secured to the property being taxed), get first claim to the proceeds from that asset.AnswerReal estate taxes cannot always be discharged in bankruptcy. Determining whether they can be discharged requires some investigation by an attorney who specializes in bankruptcy law.

In most states and m?

In most states and most cases, the payment of property taxes, in and of itself, does not have bearing on the question of property ownership. It is possible that a co-owner of real estate paying property taxes over the course of years would have a claim against the other co-owner, but that only goes to a monetary claim for the taxes...not the joint ownership which it sounds as though was clearly established via a quit claim deed.h
