There are too many different variables to answer the question of what will happen to specific assets, as it currently is asked.  It depends on numerous factual issues.   You should consult a local bankruptcy attorney because each state has unique exemption laws and a local attorney can determine what assets can be exempted.  Most bankruptcy attorneys offer a free initial consultations to determine if bankruptcy is appropriate.

There is case law that would support changing your homestead by moving and then claiming what was your second home now to be your primary and exempt home. Be sure to give a full history and discuss the issue and possible risks of trying this approach and filing chapter 7 with the new homestead.

What happens if we cant be represented in court for a bankruptcy file?

That is really tough situation since most lawyers don't want to get involved in cases already filed. You do not mention the reason the lawyer will not represent you anymore. Was it because he/she was suspended or disbarred? or was it because of a dispute with you? A lawyer cannot just stop representing a client in a court case without your written consent or a court order. In Chapter 13 most of the attorneys' fees are paid through the plan payments. There are lawyers who will accept a Chapter 13 cases with little or no payment before filing with all or almost all of their fees to be paid through the Plan payments. You definitely need to find a new lawyer and appear at the hearing unless you are able to hire another lawyer before the hearing date and that lawyer tells you not to go. If you cannot find another lawyer then go to the hearing and tell the judge what happened and most likely the court will continue your case and give you more time if you were diligent in trying to find another lawyer before the hearing. There are organizations of lawyers that may be able to provide you with a referral to a lawyer that will help you, particularly if the fact that your lawyer is no longer able to represent you is not your fault. You should contact the bar association of the County where you live for assistance if you are unable to find a lawyer on your own. Good luck...
