Q. How can probate stop foreclosure and allow time to sell my house in NY?
A: If the foreclosure was just filed (as your questions suggests) it may not yet be the right to to consider a bankruptcy; especially if that is the only issue you are trying to resolve. If by "paperwork" you were referring to a notice of a sale, then that is a different story and you may well be in need of a bankruptcy. (Based on how you phrased the language, it sounds like you may be referring to a 90-day pre-foreclosure notice.)

There are a number of ways to deal with a mortgage loan in default in the foreclosure process, which starts with a mandatory mediation called a foreclosure settlement conference. In addition, if the estate was not named as a defendant, New York law requires the action to be stayed until the proper parties are named. I would strongly suggest you contact an attorney who has experience in both foreclosure defense and bankruptcy practice as you will want to properly assess your options. ... Read More
Q. I want a lawyer to look into my mortgage payments and paperwork
A: This is a Q&A forum, and you did not ask a specific question. However, you can use this site to search for an attorney with mortgage experience; many will offer a free consultation to evaluate your case. Best of luck.
Q. If my music publisher lied to me about the contract status, can I use it as evidence?
A: Assuming the contract is construed under the laws of New York (unclear from your question and this is with a foreign entity), whatever the other party (the publisher) is telling you about the contract is mostly irrelevant. What matters are the terms of the contract not how the other side is interpreting it. You would either have to review the contract to determine what your rights and obligations are or have an attorney review it for you.
