In re Ruiz

Ruling
Debtor's failure to disclose property at creditor's meeting that it later claimed as exempt did not constitute bad faith.
Procedural posture

The chapter 7 trustee objected to an amended exemption of real property claimed by debtors. The trustee contended that debtors were judicially estopped from claiming the exemption based on the fact that debtors did not disclose the property until after the trustee did his own research and inquired about the property at the meeting of creditors, and that debtors amended their exemptions in bad faith.
