If the bankruptcy is a Chapter 7, inheritance income must be reported to the trustee and the court if received within six months. The trustee will probably want the money, unless you disclosed the fact that you were entitled to an inheritance with the filed documents and exempted the amount.
There is a specific question about being the beneficiary of a will or a deceased person in Schedule B. Since it is rare that an estate is filed, much less resolved, within six months, your failure to disclose the possible inheritance could be regarded as fraud and might lead to your discharge being revoked.
Obviously, if you did not know of the death or you were not related to the decedent and had no reason at the time to believe you were a beneficiary under a will, you may avoid fraud.
Consult an experienced bankruptcy lawyer, since bankruptcy law is very specific, and the means of "inheriting" money are varied and may not come within the statute.

Bankruptcy attorneys will collect all money due to them prior to them filing the bankruptcy case in court because uncollected fees will be discharged.

No. Bankruptcy discharge does not mean the money isn't owed. It means that creditors cannot attempt to collect it. The money will always be owed. Accounts included in bankruptcy will stay on the cr marked included in bankruptcy, for the full seven years.
