More details to this question:
CALIFORNIA: We filed for chapter 7 in May 2012. We were discharged in August 2012.
We are now trying to do a short sale and we can't clear title because we have liens against the property.
We were told to reopen the case and file a motion to avoid liens. What will the cost be to do this?

You will need to file a motion to reopen and a motion avoid lien....you can look at the U.S. Bankruptcy Court website for filing fees.

I would be charging about $2 ,500 to file such a motion. You are going to need an appraisal and there will probably be a hearing. I am only admitted in Northern California.
