Assuming you file for bankruptcy protection where your name is on title to a particular home that in reality is your mother's the court cannot take the property but possibly could order that the unit be sold in order to pay off your creditors. Given what you have written, I suggest that you consult further with a bankruptcy attorney about your matter.
