The property (I assume it is real estate) was not a liquid asset-but that has nothing to do with whether or not you list it on the BR papers. If you had any interest at all in the property, you should have listed the property and identify that interest. I don't see why trying to reopen a 9-year-old bankruptcy to list the property will somehow confirm your interest in it. You either had some kind of legal or equitable interest in it, or you did not. Why was your name not recorded as an owner. If the purpose was to evade creditors, then you put yourself at some risk trying to reopen the BR to add more property. Can you contact the previous owners? Perhaps you could reform the original deed. That is not necessarily very difficult. But you would be wise to consult a lawyer well-skilled in both real estate and bankruptcy. It's almost always worth the investment.
