Bankruptcy/Inheritance

[Buffy1968]

What is the name of your state? Kentucky
My husband and I filed bankruptcy on 09/27/05. Our discharge of debt is dated 01/20/06. My father passed away on 01/30/06. I will inherit a large
sum of money. There is a law that I am not sure about. Something about 180 days must pass before I receive or entitled to. If it is received then it will be more than 180 days, but if entitled to, was I entitled to it the day my father passed away? If I tell my bankruptcy lawyer is he obligated to tell the bankruptcy court?

Within 180 days of the petition date, 11 U.S.C. §541(a)(5) includes as property of the bankruptcy estate any property you acquire, or become entitled to acquire, as a result of a gift, inheritance, or devise. You need to consult with both your father's probate attorney and your bankruptcy attorney. You may or may not have an issue.
