Forclosure only affects the specific property that is under contract. If you have other assets they are not in jeopardy during forclosure. On the other hand, a lending institution may initiate a lawsuit to capture remaining loss. Banks are in the business of LENDING money, not giving it away. By law, they are to seek whatever means available to recover the money they loan to you. They have an obligation to repay THEIR lenders, which are the people who deposit money to the bank in hopes of getting an investment type return. So, back to your question: The bank will complete forclosure first to get the property back. You'll have an opportunity to move your personal property out of the "Real" property before forclosure, but if you wait too long they will dispose of your personal property in a way that is most efficient for them. Then they will sell the property in hopes of recovering whatever money is owned on the original loan. If they don't recover enough to pay back the money that you borrowed they may initiate a lawsuit to get the REST of that money, depening on whether they perceive that such a lawsuit might be effective.

How long do you have to be separated before your spouse can't get your assets?

Separation does not protect assets. In order to protect your assets you must obtain a divorce. The court will divide the marital assets at that time and each party will be free from the claims of the other from that time on. However, if you continue to put the divorce off, any assets you continue to acquire will be vulnerable to division. Also, if you die while still married, your spouse will inherit your assets.

If a house is in a trust and the person that owns the trust dies and that house goes into foreclosure and there is no assets in the trust prior to foreclosure can they come after anything else?

The bank will take possession of the property. If the mortgage was granted prior to the property being transferred to the trust the bank may try to attach assets of the mortgagor/decedent for any deficiency. If granted by the trustee only the trust assets are vulnerable.
