Yes...in fact you must do everything possible to secure as many assets as you can to pay your creditors.
Yes. Assessments are due and owing on the date of filing and thereafter. If past-due assessments -- owed to the date of filing -- were listed in the bankruptcy filing, they have been handled by the referee and must be treated as subject to those rulings.
To be certain of the status of such debt you should check the state statutes if filing a state bankruptcy. If it is a Federal filing, debts owed to any state department or affiliate is only dischargeable in relation to the type of debt and when it was was incurred.
Yes, in fact it is the obligation of the estate to collect all valid debts owed to the decedent. Debts owed to a decedent are considered assets of the estate. The estate's representative has authority to demand that all debts owed to a decedent be paid to the estate. If the debtor refuses to pay, the estate representative has legal power to sue to collect those debts if it has to do so.
Don't understand the phrase "incarceration bill," but if it has anything to do with something owed to the government, no, you can't. Debts owed to the government are not discharged during bankruptcy, only private debts.
If federal income or other taxes are listed as debts to be discharged, the IRS may send a representative to the 341 meeting to question the debtor about the listings, or if the debtor does not list debts owed to the IRS, a representative may be sent o ask the debtor about the omissions. Tax debts must be listed even if the debtor has a payment agreement with the IRS. The bankruptcy court will send a notice of the bankruptcy filing to the IRS and state DOR even if the debtor has not listed any debt owed to them.

Treaty of Paris
There are debts that are not dischargeable in BK. Federal and State taxes. Child support and/or alimony. Student loans. Personal injury judgments, etc. A BK discharge does not mean debts are no longer owed. It prevents the creditor(s) from attempting to collect. After discharge, a consumer can choose to pay any creditor, without reassuming the debt as a whole.

Bankruptcy is a federal court process. It is designed to help consumers and businesses eliminate debt or repay debts under the protection of the bankruptcy court. There are two categories of bankruptcy, "liquidation" or "reorganization":Liquidation bankruptcy (or Chapter 7) - a consumer or business asks the court to discharge the debts owed (some debts cannot be discharged). In exchange, the business's assets or the consumer's property is sold (liquidated) and the proceeds are used to pay off the creditors.Reorganization bankruptcy (chapter 13) - involves filing a plan with the bankruptcy court suggesting how you will repay your debt. Some debts must be repaid in full while others require only a percentage or nothing at all.
