Cancel bankruptcy

Hi everyone
I declared bankruptcy in October 2018. I have now been fortunate to be receiving an inheritance which will sufficiently cover the amount due to my creditors as well as charges claimed by the OR.
Can someone please explain the process of cancelling the bankruptcy. I am aware that I have to apply to the court and I have obtained form IAA which I need help in completing. I understand that I have to give theOR 28 days notice of the court date. The funds will be available upon completion of a house sale. My questions are:- Do I request the money is paid directly to the OR. Do I apply to the court once I know the completion date of the sale. I believe that at court I either have to confirm that I have settled the debts or can guarantee that the funds will be available. What form does this guarantee take.
I apologise for all the questions but when I told the OR that I would be cancelling the bankruptcy they informed me that they would not able to provide any advice.
Do I need to employ a solicitor to at least help me fill out the form IAA.
I really would appreciate any help or guidance please.
