In the case of In re Foreman, 378 B.R. 717 (Bkrtcy.S.D.Ga. 2007) a wrongful death claim arose post-petition. The Court held this claim not to be property of estate as it arose post-confirmation and that a debtor has no ongoing duty to disclose assets acquired post-confirmation that are not property of the estate.

The recent case of In re Bast, ___ BR ___, 2007 WL 1429481 (Bkrtcy.S.D. Fla.)(Friedman J.) dealt with a motion by a discharged chapter 7 trustee to vacate the final decree and his discharge as trustee about a year after the chapter 7 case was closed as a "no asset case." The motions were filed as part of his efforts to administer an asset for the benefit of creditors. The asset involved was an $82,000 surplus generated by a foreclosure sale of scheduled non-exempt real property after the chapter 7 case was closed.
