Can the trustee seize money that I received after I filed?
If you have filed for bankruptcy, the answer is maybe. The trustee appointed to oversee your case may be able to take any money you receive after you have filed for bankruptcy. This includes money from your job, gifts, or inheritances.
The trustee can take this money if they feel that it would be in the best interest of your creditors. For example, if you receive a large sum of money shortly after filing for bankruptcy, the trustee may decide to seize it in order to pay off your creditors.
However, there are some circumstances in which the trustee may not be able to seize post-filing money. If the money is considered exempt under bankruptcy law, the trustee cannot take it.
