Undischarged and possible inheritance

pageu

I was made bankcrupt on 30th April 2008 in Scotland, one of the last before the rules changed from 3 years to a 1 year discharge. So i'm half way through and have just found that I have a possible trust fund coming down to me as an inheritance plus maybe some bits and bobs. If this does happen within the next year and a half will it be included, I never told the reciever about it as I never knew anything about it until a conversation at the weekend with a family member. Should I tell them or just keep quiet?

Any chance of an expansion on that

well....legally you have to inform the AIB/OR within 21 days of any financial changes....so yes you would possibly loose it

if you keep quiet?....probably only a matter of time before your found out

I thought that would be the case, currently my finances have not changed so I will not be informing them, hopefully they are still here for another year and a half. Just out of interest how would they find out anyway?

philnicandamy

various ways...HMRC..someone informing them....your bank informing of a large deposit..the list goes on

edit: answered my own question

depends what the inheitance is, cash goes in the bank, if its property it may go on the land regsitry..

if its a run down place in the country, well....
