No... I doubt you can exempt enough value in the house to keep it. The CH 7 Trustee will take your interest and will be a tenant in common with Mother. His interest will be sold, and both of you will lose possession.
Are we allowed to live in the house while dealing with probate? If we are do we continue to pay the mortgage payment as it is? Or do we have to pay fair Market value rent for the house to remain living in it until it's sold to close out the estate?

I was wondering if it was illegal to mount the rear wheels in a front-wheel-drive car and drift around because it doesn't leave any marks (using wheel dollies), it isn't private property (as far as I know), and it isn't a public roadway. Thank you for your time.

Any tenant in common can file an action for a Sale For Partition. Yes, you can be removed from possession and the Court can sell it. Hire an attorney if suit filed.

A Maine attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for three weeks. You had a question, but it wasn't included in your post. You could try reposting. Do not include personal details. Good luck
Can the other land owner refuse the sale of the house? Or prevent the sale of the house? The other owner has tried to get me to agree to putting the house in a trust, and my knowledge of trusts is that you no longer own the property 100%.

Unless it is a mobile home, that house is part of the real property. If a MH, then you may wish to remove it. If you built a house on someone else's property, then hire a NJ attorney to file an action for a Sale For Partition. There you can claim, and possibly recover, some reimbursement.
