When you file for bankruptcy, your assets, income, and debts are all considered by the court for deciding the bankruptcy chapter. Any tax refund or inheritance you receive become part of your assets say lawyers of Dallas based bankruptcy law firm Recovery Law Group. If you think that after receiving your bankruptcy discharge you won\u2019t have to be concerned about receiving an inheritance, you are wrong.<\/p>\n

If a loved one dies leaving you an inheritance within 180 days from your bankruptcy filing, this money becomes part of your bankruptcy estate. This is dealt with by the bankruptcy trustee in a way they deal with other assets. This sum might be used to pay off your creditors during a Chapter 7 bankruptcy<\/a> case. If you end up becoming eligible for any inheritance and are contemplating filing for bankruptcy, keep in mind the 180 days\u2019 time period. This time frame specifies to the death of the benefactor of the inheritance and not the time when you receive the inheritance.<\/p>\n
