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

Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
No, in bankruptcy you only claim property you will inherit if the person leaving you the property has already died. Why? Because the person has the right to change their Will at any time. Say a prayer that your benefactor continues to live, because if the death occurs within 6 months of filing bankruptcy, you may lose this inheritance.

I stand to inherit from my parent’s estate. Will this affect my Ch. 13?

If you are in a chapter 13, the inheritence to the extent that it is not subject to any exemption, has to be accounted for in your chapter 13 plan. You will either have to turn the inheritence over to the trustee to the extent necessarry to pay the claims of creditors, or amend your plan so that the creditors receive as much as they would have, had you turned the non exempt portion of the inhereitence over. You can pay-off your plan early. However, you must account for the inheritence, and likely will have to pay more than the plan prior to the inheritence provided for.

If I passed away do my children still get my house if I never reaffirmed my loan if I am current and never been late on any payments?

Answered by attorney Christine James
Bankruptcy lawyer at James Law Group
If you own the home upon your death, yes. The question is do you still own the home if you filed bankruptcy. That is a question for your BK attorney and/or your lender.
