In re Keith
Jan
25
2006
Ruling
Debtor failed to disclose an insurance fraud claim during the debtor's case and claimed a state law exemption after the case was reopened in bad faith.
Procedural posture
On November 5, 2003, an order of discharge on behalf of debtors was entered. On June 7, 2005, the trustee moved to reopen the case on the grounds that he learned that one debtor had an insurance fraud claim worth approximately $5,000 which was not reported during the course of the bankruptcy case. Debtors filed an amended Schedule B to list the fraud claim and asserted an exemption under Ky. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 427.010(1). The trustee objected.
