This is long and complicated. I live in Ohio and I filed bankruptcy Oct 2005, right before the law changed. I went to court in Dec. It was discharged shortly after. Jan of 2006, a neighbor that I took care of passed away and left me and my husband the residue of his estate, which turns out to be quite hefty. I understand that we have to pay our creditors if we comeinto money within 6 months of BR. But, the Will is in probate being contested and BR attornies are trying to intervene to make sure they get there monies. By intervening, they are tacking on attorney fees that they have aquired in doing so. Now, I filed BR on only $17,000.00, but they are now wanting $75,000.00 because of the attorney fee's and interest. Which by the way, we have not yet been given the inheritance because of the contest. My question is, Is this legal?? The law says if you come into money within 6 months of the discharge date you have to pay your creditors. we were named in will, but not gotten money yet.
