How do I or where do I list the co-signed loan for a friend to get a house in my chapter 7 bankruptcy?

If the property has not been foreclosed on, you list the property on Schedule A, the mortgage debt on Schedule D and your friend on Schedule G. Use the best name & address you can find for the mortgage company. Your credit report may be a good place to start.

Is there any possible way to keep a car when filing a chapter 7?

Answered by attorney Christopher J. Kane
Bankruptcy lawyer at Christopher J. Kane, P.C.
As long as you keep your payments current on the auto loan the lender cannot repossess it. The issue in bankruptcy will be whether you have any equity in the car, whether the car is worth more than you owe on the loan. You are entitled to a $3,000 "exemption" on the equity in the car. If you have less than $3,000 in equity, then the bankruptcy Trustee will not take an interest in the vehicle. If have more than $3,000 in equity (you have "non-exempt equity") than you can work a deal with the Trustee to pay the Trustee the amount of the non-exempt equity and keep the car.

Is deferred compensation like pension and Individual Retirement Arrangement exempt in a bankruptcy?

IRS qualified retirement programs are generally exempt. A bankruptcy lawyer can review your plans and tell you if they meet the requirements for the exemption, but they very likely do.
