Do I need to let my attorney know that I received a $4900 inheritance from my grandparents after I filed for chapter 13?

Well yes, because that is what your Plan provides..that you tell the Trustee about any money you receive from any source.

Is it possible to sell my house before filling bankruptcy? Or will this create a bad situation with the future trustee?

First, keep in mind that if you repay debts owed to "insiders", e.g. family members or friends, within the one year preceding a Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing, the bankruptcy trustee can bring an action to recover the money that was paid to those creditors. The bankruptcy code is designed to prevent exactly what you are proposing to do - that is repay your family members to the detriment of other creditors. With that in mind, the most important question is how much equity there is in your home. Depending on what county in New York that you reside in, your homestead exemption is between $75,000 and $150,000. If the house is jointly owned, e.g. with your spouse, then the exemption effectively doubles. If the equity in your home is within the homestead exemption limitations, you could file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, protect your home, and then pay whomever you wish when you sell the house after the bankruptcy case is closed. Keep in mind that there are many other variables that will determine if you can file for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. You should speak with an experienced bankruptcy attorney before taking any action.

What can happen if I have not shown up on my 341 meeting?

The Trustee will make a motion to dismiss your case because you failed to appear for your 341. In addition, if someone is able to come in & save the day for you, you may be fined by the Trustee for failing to appear at your 341 meeting because the time the court staff has spent preparing for this meeting is extensive. You would be better off to show up to the meeting and explain that you are trying to find a lawyer to represent you. The Trustee may even recommend a lawyer.
