Would need to know why your case is still "open." Consult your lawyer/Ch. 7 trustee/court clerk.

It should not be a problem if the case was closed. If the case is still open then you need to find out why it has not been closed.

Get a different title company that understands bankruptcy. Property reverts in the debtor on closing of case (which is different than discharge.)

Based on your description, someone at the title company is incorrect.

If the case is not closed you do not own the property the Trustee does.

They are wrong. Show them bought after petition filed, therefore not part of estate.

Get a copy of your discharge, you should be able to do this. If the title company will not close, get another title company, there are plenty. Your bankruptcy may not actually be closed. But that should not matter, and you do not need court approval.
