Sure. If you itemize you can claim your full property taxes. And this is new for 2008: If you don't itemize, you can claim $500 of property taxes ($1000 if married filing jointly). See the instructions for line 40 of 2008 Form 1040.
No. If the property was acquired as joint tenants with the right of survivorship and one dies, their interest passes automatically to the survivor by law. There is nothing for family members to claim.
If the claim is one for property damage and the insurer is paying for the repairs, the check is usually made payable jointly to the body shop and the insured. If the claim is one for damages for bodily injury and the insured was represented by an attorney, the check is normally payable jointly to the lawyer and to the insured. If the claim is made by a third party, you, as theinsured, are not named on it.
In order to claim bankruptcy a court has to issue a bankruptcy order against you. The best place to find information about bankruptcy and the whole process of declaring bankruptcy is the official government website.
Not as a rule. If the claim was something that arose after the filing, it will depend on the nature of the claim. If the claim arose prior to filing, you must have disclosed the claim in the bankruptcy documents and the trustee may take over the claim. Consult a lawyer knowledgeable in bankruptcy.
You need to contact the trustee in bankruptcy. The bankrupt hasn't "given up their interest" unless they have already executed a deed. Their interest may be subject to the bankruptcy proceeding.
If the property is worth $5,000 and there is a claim on it for $1,000, there is equity of $4,000, which will have to be paid to the trustee or exempted (in a Chapter 7). The $1,000 claim will be the secured claim, assuming it is in fact secured by a mortgage, purchase-money loan agreement, judgment levy or other security.
Well they just don't go away if you ignore them if that's what you mean. The taxes will be a claim, a secured claim, in your BK. It will affect what is availabel to pay others and may well affect your chances to save the property they are on.

A judge or court may sometimes expunge a claim in bankruptcy court. This means that the claim is erased, as if it never happened.
You do not have the authority to force a co-owner to sign a deed. You would need to sue in court and obtain a court order that they convey their interest to you.
You should ask your BK attorney, however you cannot conceal those funds and yes, that would be assets considered in the BK to pay creditors. If you say nothing about it, they could go after you for bankruptcy fraud.
