If you inherit within 180 days of the date your petition is filed, that inheritance will become property of your bankruptcy estate. You will be required to bring that matter to the attention of the court and your trustee by amending the paperwork filed with the court to disclose the inheritance. It does not matter that you might not actually receive anything for months or years. The key date is when your loved one passed away. In a Chapter 7 case, if the inheritance came in the first 180 days after your case was filed, it will go to the trustee, absent any exemptions that might protect all or part of it.
