You must list an inheritance (or even possibility of inheritance) within 180 days of filing BK. So if you are to receive an inheritance, even if your BK was already discharged, within 6 months of filing, you must inform the BK Trustee (who would have the right to take the inheritance to distribute among the creditors)
