No, the BK Trustee is to be notified of any inheritance received within 6 months of filing BK (even if you have already had your BK case discharged and closed). Short answer- no, you dont get to keep it unless you receive it more than 6 months from filing BK.

Maybe. It depends upon the type of bankruptcy that was filed (state or federal) and the time the bankruptcy petitioner actually was awarded the inheritance, not accepted it. A bankruptcy case is officially finished when it is closed, not discharged.
