You should ask a question if you’d like a response to get you started in assessing the situation.
The house is currently in the foreclosure process but the attorney for the mortgage company said I should still have time to try and sell. How do I get the house put in my name? What documents will I need? Should I get a lawyer?

First and foremost, I am very sorry for your loss.
As for the house, even though your parents did not have wills, you can start a probate action to be appointed the personal representative of each of their estates. As personal representative, you will have authority to offer their home for... View More 
My house was getting foreclosed on. My dad and brother came together and got me enough money to not lose it. I am in the process now of getting my ex to sign the deed papers to get his name of it so I can make sure he is not entitled to anything nor has any say so. My kids father has not lived... View More

There are a lot of moving parts here and a lot at stake. Respectfully, with all the people and assets involved this is not an issue that can be resolved in an online forum. I strongly advise you to seek the advice of an attorney to sort it all out.

I am a buyer, went into contract with seller. We were to close but seller's went to court for bankruptcy. Is there anything I can do? What are some options that I can guarantee buying the home?

You need to hire an attorney to represent you in the bankruptcy case. You can probably still buy the property from the trustee, but the trustee is who you have to deal with from this point forward.
My ex husband passed away, we had 2 kids, we actually never get separated, the divorce was only on the paper. the lawyer said not to make payments on the house. The house went foreclosed. We still live in this house.

If the house has been sold in foreclosure it belongs to someone else now. If the sale has not yet taken place you may still have a chance to stop the foreclosure. Bring every bit of the paperwork you have received to an attorney right away to find out where you stand.
I received a letter from an attorney telling me to pay the rent to a local bank instead of the landlords son, which I had been doing. I contacted the bank about the heater needing repair. They told me that since they don’t own the property they are limited in what they can do. Should I pay for... View More

Missouri law provides a specific procedure for making repairs and deducting the cost from the rent.

If the divorce degree required her to help him with the mortgage, or to reimburse him for the outstanding debt, then your son can seek a motion for contempt, and demonstrate to the court that she has not paid what she has owed. Have your son speak to an attorney.
My Bankruptcy was discharged in late August. I would like for the bank to take my house ASAP.

Depends. Is it rural and does not have a street address? Does the notice give a legal description, a plat number, or something?

Something to consider. If you already have a... View More
