In chapter 7 cases where the equity in a house is fully exempted using CCP
704 are local trustees keeping cases open for a couple years to wait for a
house to appreciate past the exemption amount?
What have been your experiences?

Dear Joe:
Debtors get their exemptions so long as they do not do anything to impede the trustee.

In other words, upon the close of escrow, will the first $100,000 go to him and the rest of the equity will go to the trustee?

For six months only. If not used to purchase new residence within 6 months
of the sale, homestead proceeds are no longer exempt. Trustee can hold case
open, wait for the 6 month period to expire and administer the no longer
exempt proceeds.

Does the exemption attach to the proceeds from the pre-petition sale of the
property? Odd thing, I have a client that actually has equity in their
home....
