No. The inheritance may be subject to garnishment, however.

Only if the creditors find out and file the appropriate garnishment.

There is a way to avoid the potential of your inheritance being taken to pay these judgements.

It involves some planning now and their isn't space here to discuss it.If you want to talk to me about this call me at 561-502-1297 or e-mail me your phone number to discuss.
