If you file bankruptcy and then say 6 months later you recieve a sizable inheritance that you did not expect.?

Question

Will this be put into the bankruptcy (most are done within 3 months) or would a person get to keep this money.

Answer 1

if you had file bankruptcy, chapter 7 this will leave you debt free, and if 6 mo. later you received money it doesn't affect you ,but if you filed chapter 13 this mean you'll have to pay  your debt only it gives  you time to pay and lower the interest rate on the debt, protects  you against collector, chapter 7 protects you from getting your paycheck garnished, so depends on what chapter of bankruptcy you have filed.meke sure the account where you will deposit your money is a safe deposit box in the bank you can keep your money in a check payable to you only.and deposit it later when is safe.

Answer 2

An honorable person would repay the creditors.

Answer 3

It all depends on which chapter bankruptcy you file for and if it's discharged or not. An attorney will be the one that can answer that question for you, and it would depend on the amount of this inheritance.
