Default Just filed and father died

just filed for Chapter 7 and signed about 2 weeks ago. Around that same time my father passed away leaving me with about $26,000. I haven't recieved the money yet but i'm assuming I will get it in the next week or two. I owe about $30,000. I called my laywer today and he told me the best addvice he could give me would be to not go to any hearings and it should be automatically dismissed. The trustee should reschedule another one for about a month or so later. The lawyer or one of his reps will go to the second one and say they haven't heard from me. He then told me the BK should be dismissed within 30 days or so. Once and if we get it dismissed, let both automobiles get repossesed, by a couple more dependable ones with cash, so (i'm no longer upside down). Take the rest of the $ and put it in to my morgage. We then will file again in a few months. He says the second time we will get a new trustee and everthing should be fine. I asked him what the worst that could happen, and he said I would lose the inheritance, So I guess I got nothing to lose? What do you guys think I'm just wondering if I have any other options and what advice you guys can give me. I'm a little nervous that this may not be the honest thing to do and I don't want to have to pay a fine or go to prison?
