Just because your case may have been discharged and the case closed, if there is still time remaining, you could lose those assets if not protected by an exemption.

Both debtor and Settlor do not have a copy of the trust, and trust attorney will not provide a copy. Can Chapter 7 trustee compel the turn over of this trust? According to the trust attorney, it is revocable and Settlor can change it at any time. Debtor has done his best to comply with trustee's demand to provide, but if he can't get a copy he can't get a copy.
