If you're looking for someone to tell you that inherited funds are somehow immune from legal collection procedures, I don't think that will happen either. * All income including that of an inheritance is subject to creditor action if the creditor chooses to follow due process of law (civil lawsuit) to recover monies owed.

You must list an inheritance (or even possibility of inheritance) within 180 days of filing BK.

What do you do if you receive an inheritance shortly before your Chapter 7 meeting with the creditors?
Any money you inherit prior to a bankruptcy being discharged would have to be revealed to the judge and trustee assigned. These newly acquired assets would be factored into your financial picture and may be captured in whole or part to pay your creditors. It is possible that a sizable inheritance would cause your bankruptcy petition to be "thrown out". Consult with a competent attorney to learn the exact implications in your case and state.
