Judge:
Honorable James R. Sacca
Date:
The Court ruled on a split among the bankruptcy courts in the Eleventh Circuit regarding the interplay between §§ 541(a)(5) and 1306(a)(1). It concluded, based on the plain language of the statute, that property the Debtor inherited more than 180 days post-petition but before the case was closed, dismissed, or converted, was property of the bankruptcy estate.
