Reopening a Bankruptcy Case in Minneapolis Minnesota
When you file for bankruptcy, your case is usually closed after you receive your discharge. What happens if your case is reopened, or if you need to reopen the case?
There are many reasons for reopening a bankruptcy case. It is most likely that something was accidentally left off of your bankruptcy schedules. When you file for bankruptcy, you have to list all assets that you own or are entitled to at the time you file. Even if you leave something out unintentionally it will result in the need to open your closed bankruptcy case again and amend your schedules. You may also need to reopen your closed bankruptcy case if you accidentally did not complete the second credit counseling course. You must complete a second credit counselling course before the discharge date to receive a discharge. If you need to reopen a case, it is a fairly simple process. You will have to file a bankruptcy court application stating why you want to reopen. If the Judge grants your application, your case is reopened and a new trustee appointed (or an original appointed if the first one is not available). You can then amend your schedules, or complete the task that was specified in the application for reopening. If your case is reopened it will close after you have completed all the tasks you were required to do, the trustee has performed their due diligence on your amendment or the trustee administers any assets.
If your case needs to be reopened because you left out assets, you haven’t completed the credit counseling course or you are concerned that your case might need to be reopened by mistake, contact your attorney. They will be best able to give you advice.
