See the lawyer. One question is, did he hire you for his company or for work on the home? If it was corporate work and the corporation went bankrupt, you may get cut off. If you did work on the house, you will most likely file a mechanic's lien on the property that was improved. Selling his home to his son for a dollar to get assets out of his name isn't going to do him much good. In the law it is called an illusory transfer (deceptive transfer), and the court will most likely set it aside and let you attach the asset. Your best bet is to see a lawyer to collect your money, what you need to do is kind of hard for a non lawyer to do by himself.
