This depends on:

a) The amount of equity in the house; and
b) Who’s name is on title.

It would be important for you to contact a licensed trustee to discuss this further as soon as you can. Time is of the essence when dealing with a property and the government as the government has unique ways of registering on title in a manner that survives a bankruptcy/proposal, although this can only happen if they register prior to the filing of the bankruptcy/proposal.
