You'd need to check your local laws, since it's not the same everywhere; don't rely on the following information being correct for your location.

Generally speaking:

You should get a notice telling you the date on which the house will be sold (this will probably be called a Trustees' Sale or something like that). After that occurs, you'll receive a notice that it has been sold and specifying a date by which you must vacate the property. That date may vary depending on whether the people living in the house were the former owners themselves or someone renting the property from the former owners; the notice will probably give both dates if there is a difference.

If you do not voluntarily leave by the date specified, then you can be evicted. How long the eviction process itself takes can vary. The new owners may offer you an inducement to leave nicely, like "If you turn over the property in good condition within a week, we'll give you two hundred dollars." (This is usually called "Cash for keys", and if you do get such an offer, it will probably be considerably lower than the new owners are willing to go; you can probably negotiate for either more time or more money or both as long as you're reasonable.)

An eviction on your record looks very bad to prospective landlords, so you really want to avoid that if possible.

Can my house be repossessed if my husband is madebankrupt but is not on the deeds?

Your husband's name is not on the deed, but is he on the loan? If yes, then it cannot be foreclosed and repossessed if the property is listed on his bankruptcy filing, and, as long as his bankruptcy payments are current. If he defaults on bankruptcy payments, then you can lose the property. If he is not on the loan, then your house can be foreclosed and repossessed.
