My husband and I have been in the process of filing for BK for over a year now. We have stopped paying on everything except the neccessities (car payment, mortgage, child care, insurance, utilitities, etc).
My grandfather passed away a year ago and I am supposed to inherit @ $10,000 after the house is sold (which should be soon). We have paid the lawyer his fees, but haven't submitted the paperwork to file yet. My question is: Is there any way to protect this money from being taken from the trustee?
It has been a year since he died and I live in SC. My husband and I are probably close to $75,000 in debt at this time. I am hoping that I can find a way to keep all of it since it won't really make a dent in our debt.
Any advice? How long should we wait before we file if it can be protected?
Thanks!
