Can Co-Signers Be Protected
If you file Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the creditor can proceed against your co-signers, according to the terms of the debt agreement. However, if you file a Chapter 13 debt adjustment, a co-signer is protected if the following conditions are met. The debt must be a consumer debt. Also, the debt may not be incurred in the ordinary course of business, and the co-signer cannot benefit from the proceeds of the debt.

Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure
Definition:
If you will be unable to cure the default, and a private sale does not appear realistic, VA will consider accepting a deed in lieu of foreclosure. If there are no liens on the property, and VA agrees to accept a deed, you will have to sign legal papers making VA the owner of the property.
