Bankruptcy? Who to contact?

Hi all.  My partner and I were driving for houses, and came across one that appeared empty.  It had a "winterized" sign on the front door so we came home and researched it.  The house is still in the ladies' name, with her buying the house in 2007.  

I am new to this, and have a limited understanding of all this, but we searched the Register of Deeds for our county and found that she filed bankruptcy in 2015.  Like I said before, the owner of the property is still this lady, NOT a bank.  

Who do we call or write?  She's still the owner, not the bank.  (I'm not sure how bankruptcies work, so who else could own the property?)  This is a nice house, just needs some sprucing up (we could see in the windows and the roof & a/c are good indicators usually, to the condition of a house).

Thanks for any direction you can give us!

M.
