It depends on what the chapter 13 plan provides. Most 13s are started to save a home from foreclosure, so the debtor remains the owner until the plan is completed. If the debtor misses post-filing mortgage payments, the mortgagee will file a motion for relief from stay to get the court's permission to proceed with the foreclosure.

The plan can provide for the sale of the house, most often at auction, and the balance of the mortgage becomes unsecured debt to be paid according to the plan provisions for unsecured creditors.

Or the plan can provide for the surrender of the collateral (home) to the mortgagee, with the same result for the mortgage balance.
