Hale:
Trustee only has a right to property of the estate which is determined as of
the date of filing. I would need more facts to analyze what that is.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.

This email makes me want to go check every one of my discharged cases and
make sure they were actually closed. I always assume they will close
shortly after receiving the discharge, but now I am paranoid.

In 2013, debtor files Chapter 7 case where an interest in a trust is
disclosed on Schedule B (and exempted using balance of wildcard on C).
Chapter 7 trustee asks debtor at 341a how much she's received in the 20
years since trust was created ($5000), and requests copy of trust document.
Nothing else unusual happens in the case. Discharge. No further
communications. End of Chapter 7 and debtor moves on with her life getting a
fresh start.

That is, until this week, when Chapter 7 trustee contacts me out of the
blue, asking how much has been received from the trust since discharge.
Stunned at what seems like sandbagging, after inquiring, I reply that I just
learned debtor received a chunk exceeding wildcard ($44k) late last year,
closing out trust. Trustee demands money, saying bk case was never actually
closed, and asset (which is of course spent and gone) is now owed to the
case and her creditors.

What are the debtor's options, other than signing a promissory note to the
Chapter 7 trustee? This is the first time I've seen this tactic, and it
stinks.

Very truly yours,
