A recent Bankruptcy Court decision1 interpreting an amendment in the 2005 Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act2 has confirmed that the 2005 amendment poses a substantial risk where the account owner files bankruptcy within 720 days or less of contributions made to a Section 529 plan. Part or all of the contributions within that period became property of the bankruptcy estate (the debtor had a legal interest in the account as of the petition date) and the contributions are not fully excluded under 11 U.S.C. § 541(c)(2).3 That poses a risk that many had not anticipated when contributions were made to the account.
