Another contact found the case for me Cortez v. American Wheel (In re
Cortez), 191 BR 174. Recording a previously-unrecorded TD after discharge
is not a violation of the discharge.

Hi:
Not for nothing, but I could swear that my Foreclosure Trustee friend had
warned me that deeds which were notarized more than a year before they are
recorded, when presented at the Los Angeles Co. Recorder's office are
rejected as being stale. But I don't know how that plays into the Civil
Code which talks about unrecorded interests in property are valid as against
the parties and against those that know of the unrecorded deed.

Filing a lien after debtor is discharged
Hello listers:
My client, a creditor, has a deed of trust attaching to the debtors’ house. The deed of trust was signed 5 years ago, but never recorded. The house has no equity, so the trustee is uninterested in it.
Once the debtor gets discharged, and the case is closed, may my client record the deed of trust? Assume the underlying debt is discharged.
