Reverse mortgage while in bankruptcy?

Is it possible for a homeowner with about 50% equity to get a reverse mortgage while in bankruptcy?

If so that would probably allow them to stay in the home and make some needed repairs.

Thanks for the info.  House is the only thing in BK, they didn't have any other debt.  I don't think it was a good option for them, but they got scared of course.   Their equity could pay off the 1st, give them a bit of cash perhaps.  

I expect you are right about the attorney, because he'll quit making money.
