Very risky. Not only can you lose your discharge, you can go to prison. Is the land worth that to you? Land ownership and transfers are public records. It is very easy for the trustee to find out about them.

What do you mean by "owned"?

Someone cannot secretly transfer real estate to you without your knowledge and consent. Is the property in another country? Is someone else on the title? Is it in trust? Did someone die and you just inherited it?

Real estate taxes have to be paid annually, or you lose your real estate. If you did not pay them, who did?

You need to sit down with your attorney and discuss this fully.
