Inheritance whilst bankrupt

28 Posts

Hi,
This is a hypothetical question but one I feel I need to know the answer to before potentially filing for bankruptcy.
If someone is bankrupt and then has inheritance come to them in the next 6 year period, does that inheritance pass down to them without any problems or does that inheritance have to go and pay off all the bankruptcy debt?
Thanks in advance for any answers.

If this occurs before discharge, within the first 12 months, then the money must go to the OR.
Once you are discharged, you are freed from any bankruptcy restrictions.
