Colorado Bankruptcy Lawyers - "Can a bankruptcy discharge be revoked?"

Any discharge can be revoked within one year of final court approval. The basis for revocation is limited to specific reasons provided within the code. Revocation requires a hearing and all parties interest and their bankruptcy lawyers must receive advance notice.

Colorado Bankruptcy Lawyers - In Practice

A trustee, creditor, or the US trustee may request revocation in a Chapter 7 case if the debtor or their bankruptcy lawyer obtained the discharge fraudulently; or the debtor failed to disclose property acquisitions that would have become property of the bankruptcy estate; or the debtor acted willfully, intentionally, or maliciously deceiving a party in interest. To revoke a bankruptcy discharge, an interested party may file a motion requesting the court reopen the case. Based upon notice and a hearing, the court reviews the basis of the request and must deny reopening unless the objecting party carries the burden of proof. Admissible proof, according to the Federal Rules of Evidence is required, and the objecting party must prove, more likely than not, that discharge was improper. The most common reason for revocation is a fraudulent misrepresentation of material facts.

For maximum benefit, most debtors interview several bankruptcy lawyers before committing to any course of action. Interviewing bankruptcy lawyers requires a degree of expertise. Federal laws, state laws, and local rules combine to form the practice standard used by Colorado bankruptcy lawyers and courts. These laws evolve continually with new statutory amendments and case decisions. The most successful debtors compare the opinions of several bankruptcy lawyers, and with targeted questions, discover the most beneficial path to pursue.
