In general, the bankruptcy estate consists of all property owned by the debtor or in which the debtor has an interest whether individually or as a co-owner with any other person. In a Chapter 13 case, this also includes post-filing income from all sources, including the income of a nonfiling spouse. The estate includes property the debtor acquires by gift, devise, inheritance, divorce settlements, and life insurance proceeds the right to which arises within 180 days after the filing of the case, and also includes property recovered by the trustee under certain Code provisions. The estate is reduced by exempt assets.The balance of any property remaining for administration by the trustee constitutes the final bankruptcy estate.
