The court will not seize the house. Since you only own 1/5th of the house, then only 1/5th of any equity would be considered your portion. If that is within the exemptions for your state, then you've nothing to worry about.

You can file pro se (without a lawyer), but it will take some time to get the forms filled out properly.. if you don't, you risk dismissal of your bankruptcy.
