Input (English): asserted on the petition date even if they were not disclosed in the debtor’s schedules. Goodman v. Phillip R. Curtis Enters., Inc., 809 F.2d 228 (4th Cir.1987). A trustee has the right to rid the estate of property that is burdensome or of inconsequential value and benefit to the estate. 11 U.S.C. § 554. If a trustee neither abandons nor administers a scheduled asset, the asset is deemed to have been abandoned upon the closing of the case. 11 U.S.C. § 554(c). However, property of the estate that is not abandoned and is not administered remains property of the estate. 11 U.S.C. § 554(d). Thus, if property was not properly scheduled by a debtor, it is not abandoned when the bankruptcy case is closed. E.g., Vreugdenhill v. Navistar Int’l Transport Corp., 950 F.2d 524, 525 (8th Cir.1991) (<HOLDING>); In re Hamlett, 304 B.R. 737, 741
