Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Kansas

It seems that you may be incorrect in assuming that your mother no longer has an ownership interest in the home. She needs to examine her bankruptcy filings and the Orders from the Court. If she can't locate or make sense of them, ask the attorney that represented her in the bankruptcy. Not all home loans are discharged or extinguished in all bankruptcy chapters. She may have attempted to relieve herself of the burden of the loan, while still having an ownership interest in the home and land. She may have succeeded in doing that.

Your mother may own a house that she no longer owes any money on. She might have the right to live in or rent out the property, while the lender has a lien on the sale of the property. If she previously sent a copy of her Bankruptcy Discharge to the County and City, and they still make requirements on her, she may still own the place. If the bank has not foreclosed or done anything relative to the title with the Recorder of Deeds office, she may have rights and obligations to the house. If that was not her intention when she field bankruptcy, it might be her former attorney's obligation to make things right.

Good luck
