There are two kinds of liability in a mortgage. Personal liability and property liability. The bankruptcy probably discharged your mother's personal liability but bankruptcy usually doesn't affect property liability, meaning the lender can take some or all of the proceeds of a sale. There are other aspects of property liability, you should consult an attorney to discuss the specific situation.
Well, talk about a question that is as clear as mud. Did you inherit the house from your mother or did you inherit it from someone else? Do you inherit the house through probate or because your name was on the title as a joint or co-owner? How long ago did your mother file bankruptcy? Was it chapter 7 or chapter 13? Was the bankruptcy completed by a discharge order? Or was the bankruptcy still open and pending? All this questions are crucial to get an accurate answer to your question. I am not a Magic 8 ball that gives you answers randomly that say nothing.
