No exactly. If you inherit any money within 180 days after you filed the bankruptcy, it will become property the estate. The creditors cannot go fater it, but the trustee can force you to turn over the inherited assets. See section 545 of the bankruptcy code.

What if the creditor sells the car anyway while automatic stay is in effect?

In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, a secured creditor has the right to repossess any secured property and sell it. However, if the car does not bring enough at the sale to pay off the entire loan and cost of repo, the automatic stay prohibits the creditor from pursuing this deficiency balance.


What happens when a creditor does not file a proof of claim for a secured debt in a bankruptcy case?

A secured creditor does not need to file a such a claim, the lien against the property is sufficient proof. Generally the lien holder/lender will ask for the automatic stay to be lifted so foreclosure or repossession action can continue or be implemented against the property. In a chapter 7 bankruptcy the borrower must be able to reaffirm the secured debt to avoid recovery or litigation action from the lender.

If you filed bankruptcy and one of the creditors had a lien on a car do you get the title back after the bankruptcy is final?

It really depends on the type of bankruptcy petition you file. If you file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy the creditor who put the lien on your car may be able to take your vehicle. If you file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy you'll have the opportunity to make payment arrangements with your creditor and in that case you should get the title back after all of your payments are made and your amended. contract with the creditor has been fulfilled.
