Problems Selling Home After Bankruptcy Discharge

Check with your Bankruptcy Trustee to see if he will agree to sign papers to acknowledge that he does not want to use the equity in your home to pay creditors. If he agrees (and he probably will), the title company can prepare documents for the Trustee to sign.

Another approach would be to amend Schedule C. This should be easy unless your case has been closed. Even though you have received your Discharge, that alone would not close your case. There would have to be an Order Discharging the Trustee & Closing the Case.

Schedule C is where you list the property that you wish to exempt under state homestead laws. The purpose of exempting property is so you can keep it. I have to ask (rhetorically) why you did not have your home on Schedule C? Is it because you did not think that you had any equity at the time you filed? Or is it because your attorney isn't really an attorney at all or is someone who only dabbles in Bankruptcy & doesn't know any better!
