Tuan, I've done a number of these going back as far as 2009. The valuation
of the property from that date needs to be verified. Most of the judges I
appeared before have allowed a certified BPO back dated to the month of
filing. The Broker's certification is required. I have heard that some
judges may require an appraisal. If one was done for the original filing,
you have no problems. Zillow or other online programs are not acceptable.
But look at the form and you will see you need quite a bit of information
and documents to attach. You will need proof of what was outstanding at
the time of filing for all the secured liens on the property. Make sure
you follow the service rules to the creditor in this matter. Certified
mail to an officer of the creditor and to the agent for process of
service. The other lienholders also get notice. Good Luck.

If the property was fully and accurately disclosed, then the property would be abandoned upon the close of the case. Reopening the case, does not undo the abandonment of the property. A new Trustee would not be appointed if the case was reopened to avoid a judgment lien under 522(f).
