You may be criminally prosecuted by the state if you do not report the move (depending on the paperwork). Probably, when you do, they will foreclose.

Have a lawyer review the paperwork and determine what you should say and do.

Mr. Ashman is correct. Let me also say that since you have been discussing this with friends and family, and have posted it on a public web page, there's a chance that someone will rat you out to the government. Don't make this mistake. Seek legal advice and bring your documents with you so that an attorney can explain your options.

Best of luck.*****The above is for informational purposes and does not create an attorney-client privilege.******
