This is an interesting question. A person cannot convey what they do not own. If there was only one property described in the deed and the grantor does not own that property then that deed is a nullity, in other words, legally void. It would be ignored in the chain of title for that property. If several properties were described in the deed and one was not owned by the grantor then only the "conveyance" of that one property would be null and void and the deed would be effective as to the other properties that were owned by the grantor.

Are you required to move if your landlord files bankruptcy?

The basic rule is as follows: if your landlord files bankruptcy that is a matter between your landlord and his creditors, not you, the tenant. You are still required to pay rent or be evicted, as long as your landlord has control over the property. This applies to whether the landlord has filed for bankruptcy or if the property is under foreclosure. In either case, if you end up staying on the property, the new landlord will provide further instructions on whether to stay or to move.
