Thanks for getting back to me with your thoughts, analysis (and ramblings).
This is planning. It looks like grandpa (donor) ought to set up his own separate 529 for grandkid (bennie), before dad (Debtor) files Chapter 7.
The existing 529 (Dad is fiduciary) was funded by contributions that are either excluded or not fraudulent transfers per your analyses.
Otherwise, there may be risk of the worst case scenario where grandpa funds the existing 529, and dad's trustee and creditors benefit, not the prospective college student/barista....

I never grow tired of your ramblings!
"(In the meanwhile for tax reasons and because of their hope that
sonny will someday go to school, mom and pop are pouring money into the
529 account.)" The tax benefits of the 529/530 account is that the
gain on the money in the account is not subject to income tax, so long
as used for allowed eduction purposes. There is no federal income tax
deduction like for a regular IRA. Some states like Kansas provide a
deduction for contributions on state income tax returns for some
contributions. So for any substantive benefit sonny really better go
to college or allowed trade school!
"But what happens if donors file BK, then bennie files BK. Can
trustee in first BK claw it back from second BK estate or is it there
for the benefit of the creditors in the second BK? Enquiring minds
want to know!" I do not think it would it be any different than a pure
548 action brought against a transferee. If the bennie filed a chapter
7 after to donor, I think the automatic stay prevents the trustee in
donor's case from pursuing the contributions to bennie's 529/530 plan.
The donor's estate becomes a creditor of the bennie's estate and
529/530 account can be administered as part of bennie's estate subject
to bennie's asserted exemptions. If the bennie filed a chapter 7 prior
to the donor, and there is some portion of estate that is nonexempt
then that portion would be administered for benefit of the bennie's
creditors. Donor would not be one of those creditors. If donor filed
his own chapter 7 soon enough after bennie's chapter 7 for the donor's
chapter 7 trustee to file a proof of claim based upon a 548 theory incoordination with 541 (b)(5) & (b)(6), donor's estate would then
be able to participate as a creditor of the bennie's estate.

Mark:
I disagree, but cannot cite chapter and verse as I run out the door for my lunch (or maybe not at all). The accounts have owners and bennies. The situation Jason describes will depend on who the owner of the account is. If GPs set it up and contributed, but son is debtor, then no issue. What I often see is parent puts account in their name and then GPs contribute. I think it is a completed gift and belongs to the now debtor in BK.
So now, Jason can do the research to tell us who is right and wrong. :-)
If you have any questions or concerns please contact me.

Yes. To the best of my understanding the issue is not how the money
got into the account, it's whether what is in there is property of
the estate.

To my understanding, these accounts are set up with the debtor
parents as trustees for the children as beneficiaries. Thus, it
doesn't matter who contributed the money to the account; it's

I agree with Steve on a conceptual level; but assume that Debtor is named in the 529 documentation, and it is "funds", so a Trustee might make an inquiry. Any experience with this issue or more detailed statutory analysis?

In that scenario, how is it related to the Debtor at all? It is not his
