The line of credit is no longer usable and the bank that gave you the line of equity will be asking you to pay the balance. The mortgage holder will also be asking for the deficiency after the foreclosure auction. Alternatively, the banks may send you a 1099 early next year so you will owe taxes on the "forgiven" balance. Get a good bankruptcy lawyer. The law may change in this area when Congress comes back into session.

Can a foreclosure go onto your credit report if it is your deceased moms house and it is in probate?

Any information regarding the payment history, performance, or resolution of a debt that is reportable to a credit reporting agency can only be reported for parties who obtained the debt. This means you would only see reporting on under your name if you co-signed for the mortgage loan that defaulted. The actual foreclosure action on a home does not report to a credit agency any more than the sale of one does. What reports as "foreclosed" is the mortgage loan that did the foreclosing. This will only be reported on the credit for those who signed for and obtained the debt under which the home was foreclosed. For example; if you own a home that is paid off and for which you carry no loans, you fail to pay the taxes, and the county "forecloses" by selling your home at a tax sale, you will not have a foreclosure reported on your credit report.
