Your obligation is to let your attorney and/or bankruptcy trustee know about this. They will decide if the asset needs to be divided among creditors or included in your payments.

Must you report a monetary inheritance to bankruptcy chapter 13 after the 180 days since filing?
In a Ch. 13, you are required to report an inheritance, regardless of how many days since filing. For a Ch. 7, you are required to report an inheritance if you are to receive an inheritance based on a death (because the death creates your right to receive an inheritance). Many people mistakenly believe that an inheritance must be reported if it is received within 180 days. Now you know.

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.
