The money might be included in the bankruptcy even is a discharged has occurred. The time between the discharge and the receiving of the money would be the deciding factor. If the bankruptcy has not yet been discharged the money might be included in the procedure as assets, unless it held exemption status.

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.

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.
