Thigpen v. Cadle Co. (In re Thigpen)
Jun
07
2007
Ruling
Debtors could avoid judicial lien impairing exemption claimed only after case was reopened.
Procedural posture
After debtors reopened their chapter 7 to assert a claim to exemptions relative to real estate that had been scheduled in the original proceeding and thereafter moved to avoid a judicial lien asserted by a judgment creditor, the creditor filed an objection to the exemption claim. At issue was whether debtors were properly permitted to avoid the lien pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 522(f).
