The proceeds will be treated as a “windfall” and seized by your trustee for the benefit of your unsecured creditors. If it is a substantial sum, you may wan to ask your trustee if it is possible to file a consumer proposal to have your bankruptcy annulled – you will have to sign over most, if not all, of the life insurance, but you won’t be bankrptcvy anymore.
Speak to your trustee about your options.
