My experience has been the Trustee will want you to turn over the refund, unless you have a compelling reason what it should not be turned over.

The filing is not a problem.  The issue is the success of a plan, and what you intend to do.  Also, if the creditor is the bank, you might do better outside of bankruptcy, as there are no trustee fees.

Can I claim a property that was willed to me in my Bankruptcy record even if the owner is still alive?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Bruning & Associates, P.C.
Section 541 of title 11 of the US Code defines what is part of the bankruptcy estate. Because you will not have a legal or equitable interest in to-be-inherited property as of the time of filing, property listed in another's will generally will not be a part of the bankruptcy estate. There is, however, an exception. Section 541(a)(5) provides that property you inherit within 180 days of filing the petition (not 180 days after being granted your discharge) is part of the bankruptcy estate. If the person dies within that time frame, it would be worth if to consult a lawyer.
