Thanks Mr. Corbin. Unfortunately(of course without naming names), I was under council that "if they don't bring it up, you shouldn't bring it up". This guy was recommended to me by 2 other attorney's that do not do Bankruptcy. I feel that I may have been ill-advised, and I did not want to suffer the punishment of perjury or worse from the courts. I believe he is now amending the schedule and attempting to exempt it, and I pray that this mishap has not "blown" the whole filing and ruined my chances of discharging my debt. I was being honest and we brought up the inheritance several times to the attorney while filing.

You have a potential claim against your attorney, which may also be an asset of your bankruptcy estate and must be disclosed on your schedules. Your discharge is at risk, and now you know that you cannot trust your present attorney to accurately advise or protect you. S/he counseled you to commit bankruptcy fraud. Retain new experienced, effective counsel without further delay. Ask your new attorney to make demand on your original attorney to disgorge the fee you paid and consider pursuing your first attorney for damages if the Trustee abandons that claim.
