180 day inheritance

[dtimo]

I am looking to file ch 7 in California
My 93yo father with an aortic aneurysm could die suddenly any day or live several years.
When do the 180 day begin (filing date, discharge date)?
When do they end (date of death, date when I get control of the inheritance, Other?)

Filing date, and then date of death. If your father passes away within 180 days of the filing date then you have to report the inheritance. Hopefully your father will live many more years with the aneurysm.

Yep, as was mentioned
180 day starts are filing date
The event that gives rise to the trustees interest in the inheritance is the date of death.

The amount of time it takes the estate to settle or probate is irrelevant. Many people get confused over this issue. It is not when you "receive" the money, it is the date that the person dies that is the triggering event.
