The home is a part of the estate. It does not matter that it is or is not in a trust. The executor is responsible for taking care of all of the assets of the estate.

If you are discharged from chap 7 and did not reaffirm your mortgage can you still surrender your home?

It's my understanding that when you sign a reaffirmation agreement, you then become liable once again for the loan. If the home was included in the bankruptcy, but no reaffirmation agreement was signed, you can "walk away" from the home at any time after the discharge and you're not liable. I've been told that the mortgage company will report it as a foreclosure though.
