If it has not been exempted, all of it.
I think it depends on when the bankruptcy is discharged, but it would be discussed at your meeting with the creditors and the trustee. If it wasn't discussed, then the refund is yours.
The trustee may take the refund and distribute it to creditors because a tax refund is not considered an exempted asset under bankruptcy laws.
NO....DUHHHHHHHHHHHH
Your bankruptcy trustee has the right to receive your share of the inheritance within 6 months of filing your case. The trustee has the right to receive it all. Typically what happens though is the trustee receives the full amount and then makes a determination of how much is needed to satisfy your estate and debts. If you receive more than is necessary to pay off your debts, you will get a refund. It can take some time though. In rare cases, the trustee may have you cut a check for the amount and you keep the difference. But normally trustees don't trust debtors to do this.
Money for your plan payment, tax refunds.
Making no sense. Who is "them"? Attorney took the money?.. it wasn't the Court trustee? If you inherit money within 180 days after the discharge of your bankruptcy, you must notify your attorney who will notify the trustee and they may have claim to some of the inheritance. If the case was discharged a year ago, it is no longer property of the bankruptcy trustee.
The Trustee keeps anything that is not exempt. If your settlement is part of the bk, and is not exempt, it will be used to pay off your creditors.
If (a) you filed Chapter 7 *AND* (b) the injury occurred *AFTER* you filed, no. Otherwise, you should discuss it with your bankruptcy attorney.
Yes. For 3 years. They do not take it all. You will get to keep your EIC and certain other credits that may be given that year. This is per my bankruptcy lawyer.
No, the IRS will get to keep it. And, even if you could get it back, the bankruptcy trustee would probably take it to distribute to your creditors.
"Bankruptcy" does not take anything. The Chapter 13 Trustee is the one who "takes" anything there is to be taken. And, no, your settlement - if you mean a retroactive check for disability (SSDI) - is not available to the trustee. If you are talking about a settlement of a lawsuit, probably not, unless the cause of action existed at the time you filed the c. 13 and did not exempt any possible award. Talk to your bankruptcy lawyer.
You can compel the BK trustee to take full cash payment and discharge the bankruptcy by going to his/her office in person or setting a court date. Your attorney can advise you the best path to take.
