How long after you take your name off of a deed can you file bankruptcy?

I had a bankruptcy interview and qualified. Later I found out that I was on a deed and that my aunt was going to take my name off it after hearing of my wanting to declare bankruptcy. My lawyer requested a copy of the deed, which my aunt refused. She controls my father's part of the deed and feels that the land will be taken away. My lawyer told me that taking my name off the deed is legal normally, but not in bankruptcy law. He also stated that he has to see the deed. I haven't declared bankruptcy because of finding out about my name on the deed after the initial interview. Is there a way to get another lawyer later on? Is there a period I can wait after my name is removed from the deed to legally declare bankruptcy?
