Or, if you have an appraisal from back then, that's great, too. There
should have been one attached to the original 522(f) Motion, no?

David, I have reopened old cases to do a 522(f) Motion and we find an
appriaser who can do a "retroactive appraisal" to the filing date. This has
worked, with no issues whatsoever.

Current amount is as of petition date and you do a declaration per the local rule stating that. I've done 3 already this year. Also the motion to reopen order rule states you put in the order that no trustee is to be appointed.

Agreed the Petition date is the valuation date, but what has always made me scratch my head was how the local form 522(f) motion requires the CURRENTlien(s) amount with proof of that CURRENT amount. I have seen a 522(f)
motion denied for providing only proof of the lien amount(s) at petition
filing date. It was not one of my cases, but as I recall it was a Judge
Carroll decision I read a couple years ago.

The law is clear the property should be valued as of the petition date. You can bring a motion to reopen at any time. The only issue (regarding the Motion to Avoid Lien) is that the Creditor has the ability to argue laches. However, they must show (both) an unreasonable delay by the debtor, and prejudice to the adverse party. Couveau v. Am. Airlines, Inc., 218 F.3d 1078, 1083 (9th Cir.2000).

I filed a motion to reopen and motion to avoid lien recently in front of
Judge Kwan. We used an appraisal based upon the value at the time the case
was originally filed (Feb 2012) and our motion was granted.

Typically, the lien avoidance is the snap shot in time on the date of thefiling of the petition. In an active case, you may face the problem of atrustee seeking any appreciation.

Client filed a Ch 7 in 2010. The lawyer filed a lien avoidance motion,
but named the wrong creditor and served at the wrong address. No lien
avoidance of course. Now client wants me to reopen the case to correct the
problem. I have no issue with that, but..
If I use the current value for the property, they lose. If I use the
value of the property in 2010 they win.
What say all of you?
