What is the name of your state? AZ
I filed for Ch 7 BK in '03 and rec'd my discharge in 7/04. The case has not been "closed" yet and I am being told that if I sell my house before the case is closed the Trustee will take everything over the Homestead amount. Here are my questions:
Is there anything I can do to get the case closed? (It has been over a year since the Discharge.) How long can a case stay open? If I do wait to sell the house until the case is closed, can they still reopen it and take some money? If so, how long do they have to reopen a closed case? Will I ever be able to start saving money again or will they take any money I try to save indefinitely?
Thank you for any help you can offer.
