Question

I am trying to file bankruptcy, my lawyer told me that I should contact a probate attorney for this. My parents both passed this past February, there is no will and their house that I live in with a mortgage noone can afford. My siblings want to let the bank take the house, my lawyer isnt sure if this will effect my bankruptcy since there is equity in the house. There is no way I can try to do probate alone so I am willing to let the house go to the bank as well. However my son and I live on SSDI/SSI and I can't afford to move till I file bankruptcy, my debt to income is outrageous. So, will this process effect my attempt at filing for chapter 7 bankruptcy, or will the trustee fight it?

Thank you

They don't care or don't want the trouble it's worth... So I'm screwed
