In re Zisumbo, In re Brumfield
PUBLISHED
Chapter 13 Debtors received inheritances 180 days after the date of petition. Addressing the interaction between 11 U.S.C. §1306(a) and 1327(b), the Court held that upon confirmation of a Chapter 13 plan, the property of the Chapter 13 estate vests in the debtor pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 1327(b) and (c), but the Chapter 13 estate is not extinguished and is augmented by any property acquired after confirmation until closure, dismissal, or conversion of the case pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 1306(a). Zisumbo's plan was modified and she was ordered to turn over the inheritance to the Chapter 13 Trustee. However, because the motion to modify the Brumfield plan was filed after the completion of plan payments, the motion was denied pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 1329(a).
