Bankruptcy is a federal procedure, so the state is irrelevant. Generally, you will have to turn the inheritance money ober to the trustee. It will be applied to your plan and may shorten or end the plan because the plan has been paid off. If the plan provided for less than 100% to unsecured creditors, the trustee may want to increase the "dividend" to the unsecured.

If you file bankruptcy?

What happens if you file bankruptcy differs depending on what chapter of bankruptcy you or your business decides to file under. The most common form of bankruptcy for the individual is Chapter 7. Under Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the banks may liquidate property and assets-except things that are explicitly protected. After this, most debts are forgiven-but not all, as certain debts do not qualify. Your credit score will then be severely damaged by the filing, but you will be free to slowly bring it back up as you will not be suffocated by debt. The article below goes into further detail on the process of bankruptcy.


What are the difference between Chapter 7 vs Chapter 11?

Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a liquidation process where assets are sold to repay creditors, usually resulting in the discharge of most debts for individuals or businesses. Chapter 11 bankruptcy is a reorganization process that allows businesses to continue operating while developing a plan to repay creditors over time. Chapter 7 is typically more straightforward and faster, while Chapter 11 is more complex and costly but allows for more flexibility in restructuring debts.
