No, the creditors can't take the South America property. But, the Bankruptcy trustee can. The only exemption for real property is a homestead exemption and obviously your homestead cannot be in South America if you are filing bankruptcy in the US. So this property would be taken by the trustee and liquidated to pay your creditors. Directly the creditors can't take the property. Failing to list this property (Hey, it is in South America, how will they know????") can lead to charges of Bankruptcy fraud if found out. It is possible that the trustee would allow you to make a monetary offer to keep the property, especially as selling a foreign property is not easy. You would have to provide a valuation of the property proving the value to the trustee.

On a bankruptcy filing form what does it mean when it asks schedule F creditors holding unsecured nonpriority claims and asks for the date claim was incurred and consideration for claim?

Creditors are either secured or unsecured. Secured creditors such as the mortgage on your house or you car loan go on Schedule D. Unsecured creditors (creditor without liens or collateral) are either priority or nonpriority. The only creditors who are classified as priority go on Schedule E and Schedule E contains a list of the categories. Every other creditor (general unsecured creditors) goes on schedule F. The most common example of unsecured nonpriority creditors are credit cards and medical bills. You basically need to give a general description of what you bought and when you bought it. You don't need exact dates.
