Right, but when it comes to bankruptcy, federal laws prevent seizure of home by creditors (if you own it, that is).

Bankruptcy won't prevent seizure of a property if tne creditor has a valid lien. If it were otherwise, who would make a mortgage loan.

It depends on the lien.

If it's a creditor and not the mortgage holder, the creditor's lien is wiped out. The asset won't be seized. It's protected. The holder of the title deed however is the true owner of the home, so a foreclosure would be in the works if the mortgage isn't being paid.
