Hello, I'm sorry to hear about your problems.(posted 8427 days ago)Unfortunately, as you've found out, debts don't go away just because the person has died.
In bankruptcy, any property will usually be sold. If the property is in joint names, then the non-bankrupt party will usually be given the opportunity to buy out the bankrupt one. Where there are children, the Receiver will usually let the family stay in the house until suitable accommodation is found.
Your father was bankrupt for 2 years before his death, and a person is usually discharged after 3, so I would imagine that the Receiver decided there was no reason to sell, because your father had other assets that could be realised.
I would strongly suggest that you see a solicitor for adviceon where you stand. The solicitor dealing with your father's estate administration should be able to help.
However, as its been some time since the bankruptcy and a while since his death, then it seems unlikely that the house will have to be sold, you'd have received some sort of notification of intent by now.
