As a general rule, yes the bank must give you reasonable notice to vacate. From your questions it isn't clear if you are still in bankruptcy proceedings, or if your bankruptcy has already been discharged. If you are still in proceedings, then the bank must coordinate with the bankruptcy court and your attorney to arrange a move-out date. If your bankruptcy has already been discharged, then the bank has the right to possess the property. However, even in that case they must give you some notice. In most cases you or your attorney should be able to negotiate a specific move-out date.
Good Luck
