Re: Inheritance
If the person you owe the back support to or the AG's Office discovers you have received an or are going to receive an inheritance they may do an enforcement action against you and ask the Court to order you to make a large, lump sum payment against the arrearage. It's not an automatic intercept like when the AG's office takes you income tax refund.
