I believe the case to which Blair refers is In Re Webb, 03.1 IBCR at 26.  Here's an excerpt from a slightly more recent Idaho case which cites to it: DARRELL M. CLARK, No. 05-42110.

"[F]or purposes of § 522(f) lien avoidance, the relevant valuation date is the date the petitioner filed for bankruptcy relief. Section 522(a) provides: 'In this section [§ 522,] 'value' means fair market value as of the date of the filing of the petition.'" In re Webb, 03.1 I.B.C.R. at 26 (quoting 11 U.S.C. § 522(a))."

I don't remember what it is but in the old IBCR's there's a case from, I believe, Bud Hagan that held that the amount as of the petition date is what it is throughout.  Those are all now on the Casemaker page from the ISB.

List Mates - I represent a creditor that has a judgment lien that was not set aside in a chapter 7 bankruptcy filing. At the time the bankruptcy was filed, the homestead was $100,000 and the property had no equity over and above the mortgage and the homestead. The case was closed several years ago.

Debtor now wants to reopen the case to set aside the judgment lien under 522(f). My questions are:

Do all the original values / homestead amount still apply to a reopened case as set forth in the original schedules?
Or, can the debtor now assert the increased homestead exemption to $175,000 and the creditor assert the 2021 increased property value?

Appreciate your thoughts. Laura
