How long after bankruptcy is discharged can he transfer the title to me? 9 Answers as of January 03, 2012

Once the bankruptcy discharge is given, the estate is "abandoned" and you go on to live your life as normal.

Assuming you were in a Chapter 7 you are no longer under the supervision of the trustee. Your father can transfer title to you.

If he gave you the car post filing, there is no problem.

Was the original vehicle purchased with your Dad's money or yours? and when? If your Dad's money, then after the discharge is fine.

If your court date is coming up you are no where near being discharged yet.

There is no time limit as to when you can receive property following a discharge; but the Trustee can recapture property that could have been included in your bankruptcy Estate if it is transferred to you within 2 years. In your example this car was not a part of your Estate and was not purchased by you, so it could be argued that it should be beyond the Trustee's reach. That said, the timing will appear suspicious. Consult a competent bankruptcy Attorney to discuss your options before making any decisions.

You are allowed to acquire assets or property after filing bankruptcy. There is no waiting period after the bankruptcy is filed.

Immediately assuming that: (1) the property is exempt, and more than 30 days have passed since the creditor's meeting, or (2) for non-exempt property, your Trustee has issued a no-asset report and has abandoned all non-exempt property. Call and ask your attorney before you do anything.

This may depend on wether the car has a loan on it or if it is paid for and free and clear of debts. If the car is paid off, wait six months.
