    if you are not sure you are getting and inheritance or not, do you have to list it?

    curious question. If you have a relative that you dont talk to for years and they are old and might give you a small inheritance, but you dont know and certainly dont want to ask. do you have to list on on a bk form so that it is included in the 180 days after you file?

    also is that 180 days after the filing or after the discharge. thx!

    Under your circumstances, I would say "No."

    At the time we filed, 'Hub's brother had been in hospice, and had just gotten out. He had a prognosis of 6 months to 1 year to live. Bro beat that seven times over. Furthermore, how are we to know the future? Nor did we have any idea of whether there was a will or not.

    We said "No."

      This is my own opinion: NO! Reason; you are speculating. I could have put down I expect to win the lottery. I could of course but that is a large speculation. You do not know that you will not be disinherited. Also, that person could live longer than you or I. My brother who had by six doctors, a six month projected life, eight years ago and has improved his life, has been gifted by God. You may not be that fortunate to receive a speculated gift. By all means, pass this before your lawyer. 'Hub

        is that relative still alive? i thought i read on here that if they died before you filed, and you are a beneficiary, you had to list it. you would know you are a beneficiary based on the will or if it is intestate, you need to confirm with your attorney.

        Maybe that was about something else though. Heck if i can remember these days.

          In our case, the relative was still alive, but expected to die within 6 months. As he had already beat the prognosis by twice that amount and was doing fine, we chose to say "No". We filed December 28, 2007; 'Bruce' is still alive and well as of this date.

            Agree with the others-don't list it.
            To answer the other part of your question-it's 180 days from the filing date.
