When your mother loaned you the downpayment she should have registered a mortgage on the house, either that or she shouold hav ebeen put on the deed for her share of the house. She may still beable to do these things – she should speak to a lawyer. The lawyer will tell her she needs to be able to prove the downpayment came form her and that it was intended as a loan, not a gift.
This is something you should discuss with a trustee BEFORE you do file. The trustee will be able to tell you whether or not your house is at risk.
