You need to be careful. Receipt of the inheritance is not relevant. What is relevant is when you become entitled to it. Your rights to the inheritance become solidified at the moment of death. If your benefactor dies within six months after you file bk (Chapter 7 - as pointed out above, there are different rules if you are in a Chapter 13), the inheritance, if not subject to some exemption, goes to the Trustee regardless of how long it takes for you to receive it.
