In many cases within estate documents there is a provision to disclaim your inheritance. Check the will or trust to see if this provision is in the document. However by doing so, if there are more than one sibling, your amount of inheritance may be added to the residue of estate and distributed as the document specifies.

Your bankruptcy trustee has the right to receive your share of the inheritance within 6 months of filing your case. The trustee has the right to receive it all. Typically what happens though is the trustee receives the full amount and then makes a determination of how much is needed to satisfy your estate and debts. If you receive more than is necessary to pay off your debts, you will get a refund. It can take some time though. In rare cases, the trustee may have you cut a check for the amount and you keep the difference. But normally trustees don't trust debtors to do this.
