In my case I bought a short sale that was wrapped up inside a bankruptcy case (rather than a probate case).

Some of out largest coal producers had filed bankruptcy, and even in small Wyoming towns like Gillette we had layoffs of over 500 people by just one company in just one round of layoffs.These were very high paying jobs and nearly every worker owned his own home. 

For example, Friday i was sitting close enough to one of the lawyers and heard him convey to the sheriff that he just got an email pertaining to one of the homes on the docket, that the owners were filing for bankruptcy and that the home needed to be postponed.

If your mother were to file an emergency bankruptcy petition, (sometimes called a skeleton filing) its only three forms and doesn't require any money at the time to file.
