Carroll v. Logan

Debtors claimed that the bankruptcy court erred by including an inheritance that postdated their Chapter 13 bankruptcy petition by more than 180 days as part of their bankruptcy estate. The court concluded that Bankruptcy Code Section 1306(a) extended the timeline for including "the kind" of property "specified in" Section 541 in Chapter 13 bankruptcy estates. Accordingly, the court affirmed the bankruptcy court's inclusion of the inheritance in debtors' Chapter 13 bankruptcy estate. View "Carroll v. Logan" on Justia Law
