can I file chapter 7 bankruptcy if my mothers house is in trust, I live upstairs from her in the house. My name is not on the deed.

Your bankruptcy will not effect your mother's house, regardless of how title is held. Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is only focused on your, income, your debt situation and your assets. With you having no title interest in the house, it will not have any effect of your bankruptcy filing. You should contact an attorney specialized in Bankruptcy Law and setup an appointment. Joseph F.
