The automatic stay in bankruptcy stops most actions against your property. To sell, your attorney files a Motion for Authorization to Sell — the court lifts the stay for the specific transaction.

Wyoming's homestead exemption protects a portion of your primary residence equity from creditors in bankruptcy. The exemption amount varies by state.
