§1186 Property of the Estate

Summary

If a reorganization plan is approved under section 1191(b), the bankruptcy estate includes the property listed in section 541 plus two more things. First, any similar property the debtor gets after the bankruptcy case starts and before the case is closed, dismissed, or converted to a chapter 7, 12, or 13 case — whichever happens first. Second, wages or other pay the debtor earns for work after the case starts and before that same end point. Unless section 1185, the confirmed plan, or the confirmation order says otherwise, the debtor must keep control and possession of all estate property.
