If a bankruptcy was discharged four months ago do you have to turn over your upcoming tax return for the year to your trustee?

No, if your BK (assuming this is a Ch. 7) is discharged, the money is yours. The only time you would have to surrender the refund is if you were expecting a refund during or shortly thereafter from when you originally filed.

If an executor of a will waits six months after a bankruptcy to give the bankrupt his inheritance is it safe from the trustee?
Maybe. It depends upon the type of bankruptcy that was filed (state or federal) and the time the bankruptcy petitioner actually was awarded the inheritance, not accepted it. A bankruptcy case is officially finished when it is closed, not discharged.
If your bankruptcy was discharged a few months ago can you sell your house to a real estate broker before the trustee sale?
If the house was forfeited in the BK, instead of a reaffirmation agreement with the lender..NO!
Can your trustee convert your Ch 7 to a Ch 13 if he decides that you will have enough money to make payments on a Ch 13 repayment plan in 10 months?
No. Once a chapter 7 bankruptcy has been discharged it is final.
Is inheritance exempt in Bankruptcy?
No, the BK Trustee is to be notified of any inheritance received within 6 months of filing BK (even if you have already had your BK case discharged and closed). Short answer- no, you dont get to keep it unless you receive it more than 6 months from filing BK.
Can you stop your bankruptcy while in process?
You will be discharged usually after 12 months, on the first anniversary of the bankruptcy order, but there are different dates which might apply to you.
After being discharged from the bankruptcy are you entitled to the upcoming year's tax refund if any?
Generally tax refunds are pro-rated using the number of months between the BK filing and the tax refund as a guideline, in some BK's it also depends upon the amount of the refund. The entire refund amount is seldom seized by the trustee unless the filer exceeds the exception amount established as the "wild card" or other allowable income.
Can you have a cosigner on a car loan while in the last few months of bankruptcy?
When participating in a Chapter 13 BK repayment all major financial transactions must have the approval of the bankruptcy trustee. If the person does not clear the action with the trustee the "13" can be dismissed with prejudice.
What is in chapter 7 for bankruptcy information?
In Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you would achieve the end ultimately faster, and basically be able to restart your financial life sooner. It is the most common form of bankruptcy and debts would be discharged months after filing the bankruptcy.
When is a chapter 7 bankruptcy closed?
It is closed when it is legally discharged by the courts. Usually about 2 months after the 341 meeting for a ch. 7.
What happens to savings and CD accounts during bankruptcy that have your name on them if they belong to another person and you actually have not inherited them yet?
If your name is on any account or CD, it is an asset of your bankruptcy estate. If the money cannot be exempted, then it can be siezed by the Trustee. However, if these are funds that are held in a Trust or become yours only upon the death of the holder of the funds, then they may not be reachable by a Trustee. If the person dies within 6 months of your bankruptcy filing date, then the money will have to go to the Trustee.
Can the bankruptcy court take your tax refund for 2004 if bankruptcy was filed in Dec 2004 if this was not discussed at the Creditors Meeting?
I think it depends on when your debts are discharged. If they were already discharged, it was a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and it wasn't discussed at the creditors meeting, then the refund is yours. Besides, imagine if you filed on April 15th. You might not get your refund until later June or almost July, and that's months from when your debts were discharged. I'm pretty sure it's yours.
If you have been discharged from bankruptcy and then inherate can the bankruptcy agency take the money?
If the bankruptcy is a Chapter 7, inheritance income must be reported to the trustee and the court if received within six months. The trustee will probably want the money, unless you disclosed the fact that you were entitled to an inheritance with the filed documents and exempted the amount.There is a specific question about being the beneficiary of a will or a deceased person in Schedule B. Since it is rare that an estate is filed, much less resolved, within six months, your failure to disclose the possible inheritance could be regarded as fraud and might lead to your discharge being revoked.Obviously, if you did not know of the death or you were not related to the decedent and had no reason at the time to believe you were a beneficiary under a will, you may avoid fraud.Consult an experienced bankruptcy lawyer, since bankruptcy law is very specific, and the means of "inheriting" money are varied and may not come within the statute.
