After a discharge notification is received from the court, is that it? I was told that although the discharge had been granted, the trustee had yet to file a determination of assets.

This obviously got me wondering if the trustee will notify me months down the road that I have to pay something. My attorney sent me a letter saying everything was done, thanks for your business, blah, blah, but I just want to know that this humiliating experience is absolutely behind me now. I don't want to be blind-sided in the future.

Tiffany - as far as I know, once you are discharged, that's it. It's done. I may be wrong, however, with the laws changing a while back, that may have changed. But it doesn't seem like the attorney would have sent you a letter saying you're done if you're not - I would think he/she would have put something in the letter that would let you know that the Trustee would be taking future action of some sort.

From reading cases online,the discharge from the court is the final step in a bankruptcy. Now you get to rebuild your credit report.Holler when you are ready for that challenge.
