MEMORANDUM ORDER AND OPINION

GETTLEMAN, District Judge.

This appeal poses the timeless question whether, in the context of modern bankruptcy law, a person can insulate from his creditors an expected transfer of wealth from an aged and generous relative. The Bankruptcy Court ruled against the debtor, Collin S. Smith ("Smith"), who appeals that decision to this court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 158(a). The material facts are undisputed.
