Inheritance before discharge?

[colet4b]

Thanks for all the advice. I've done a little more research and under the old law it looks like a trustee can take any "windfall" ie lottery, inheritance etc. up to a year after a case is closed. Under the 180 day thing I think I would be fine but the situation just gets cloudier. The majority of the inheritance is in a cd that will mature next month and be paid out to my wife and her brother and sister. I am assuming that when the bank distributes this money they will have to report it to the irs which is where i will assume the trustee could find out about it. I guess it's time to consult with my attorney

Wow, I must have not been paying attention, maybe someone told me and I forgot. So my special trust really just is needed to protect those first 180 days??
Still glad I did it, foolish thing to gamble over, if it involves a large inheritence. I just thought I was to leave it in force several year. I am still going to leave it on till my case is actually closed. I am going to sometime dig for the example of the trustee going over an inheritence, I will post the case #

Good thoughts, Scammer. To be cautious until you're discharged. You never know what can happen until your case is closed and you're done for sure.

According to my attorney, any inheritance recieved after 180 days from filing is safe. I hope she's right.
