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
holding that an undisclosed cause of action which existed at the time of filing remained an asset of the estate and allowing the debtor to reopen the case to formally schedule the cause of action holding property that was technically abandoned under  554c was not brought back into estate by virtue of reopening the case holding that a debtor must formally schedule the property before the close of the case in order for such property to be abandoned pursuant to section 554c holding that the debtor could retain exempt property because it was not property of the estate holding that property is not abandoned by operation of law unless the debtor formally scheduled the property before the close of the case
