Not as a rule. If the claim was something that arose after the filing, it will depend on the nature of the claim. If the claim arose prior to filing, you must have disclosed the claim in the bankruptcy documents and the trustee may take over the claim.

Consult a lawyer knowledgeable in bankruptcy.

Of course, the practical upshot is that the bankruptcy court may find that the debtor is unable to pay any debt - then, the LL is wasting time.

You can certainly sue after filing the same as you can before. I think it's fair to say everyone is someones relative. You cannot, before or after BK, sue someone BECAUSE they are someones relative. That doesn't make them invlved or responsible to you for their relatives actions.
