If you received an inheritance in 2003 and put it in a grandchild's account will that be included in a 2005 bankruptcy?

No. The general rule is only assets transferred 90 days prior are subject to bankruptcy inclusion.

How long do you have to wait after a bankruptcy discharge to inherit land?
The way this question is worded implies you want to manipulate the inheritance to avoid including it in your bankruptcy. If you become an heir to land or any property (cash, motor vehicle, etc.) prior to filing or while you are in bankruptcy, or within 180 days after discharge, you must disclose the inheritance to the trustee and the court, even if you have not actually received the property. There is no "waiting."
Can an inheritance be taken by the courts or creditors if the will has not been executed and most likely will not be until after filing for Chapter 7?
Some received before the discharge are collectable by the trustee. Whether an inheritance can be included depends on the the type of BK (Federal or State) and the laws that are applicable. If however, the BK has been discharged, no monies are subject to seizure by the truste/court. I'm a little confused by the answer above. There is no such thing as "State bankruptcy," though there are state receiverships which are similar but rare. The only bankruptcy that exists in the U.S. is federal bankruptcy, which is codified in Title 11 of the U.S. Code (though State law does affect the federal bankruptcy laws in each State to a certain extent). It is also not true that once the bankruptcy has been discharged the court can't come after inheritance proceeds. If the inheritance occurs within 180 days after the discharge, the court can still come after the money (see 11 U.S.C. 541 (a)(5)). If the inheritance occurs before or during the case, the debtor has an obligation to notify the court by listing the inheritance on their Schedule B, and the court can then go after the money assuming the State in which the bankruptcy is pending does not allow the debtor to exempt that type of property. Also, actual receipt of the inheritance funds is not necessary, a debtor has to list the inheritance if the debtor knows it is coming even if the debtor hasn't actually received it yet. In some states, one can "disclaim" an inheritance, which means the person can say they don't want it, and the inheritance is protected from the bankruptcy court, but this is complicated and rule-specific and one definitely needs to consult with their attorney about this. Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person.
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.
Is inheritance exempt in Bankruptcy?
No, the BK Trustee is to be notified of any inheritance received within 6 months of filing BK (even if you have already had your BK case discharged and closed). Short answer- no, you dont get to keep it unless you receive it more than 6 months from filing BK.
How long after receiving a discharge do you have to not report a windfall of income such as winning the lottery or a large inheritance?
180 days from the date of the discharge. I believe it is 180 days from filing rather than from discharge. If you filed a chapter 7 and received the inheritance or the right to the inheritance within 180 days of filing, then the money should come into the bankruptcy estate. If you already received your discharge, then the trustee may move to reopen your case and bring a proceeding to get the money. However, Trustees, sometimes, try to bring money into the bankruptcy estate that they don't have the legal right to. Lottery proceeds based on a lottery ticket purchased after you filed bankruptcy are not part of the estate, but trustees have been known to go after the money anyway.

What do you do if you receive an inheritance a month after discharge and didn't know it was coming?
The disclosure of assets received after a BK discharge are determined by the type of bankruptcy filed; state, federal or combination thereof. A safe option would be to contact the BK trustee.
If you have been discharged from bankruptcy and then inherate can the bankruptcy agency take the money?
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.
