What happens if I am on title of my mothers house and I delcare bankruptcy?

This depends on whether or not you are living in the house. If not, then 50% of the equity in the house is yours and if you were to file a bankruptcy would have to go to the general benefit of your creditors. If you are living in the house then you may be able to claim a portion of the equity exempt and only the remainder would have to be distributed among your creditors. The exact amount that can be claimed as exempt will depend on where in BC you live and will need to be discussed with a local trustee.
