Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Your husband's inheritance is his separate property. You are not entitled to any of it.

Everything acquired during marriage as the result of the labor of either spouse is community property owned equally by both spouses, regardless of whose names are on the account.

Any assets owned prior to marriage, and any gifts or inheritances received during the marriage, are the sole and separate property of the spouse receiving the gift or inheritance.

Note that employment related bonuses are community property, but in your husband's case, if he was no longer working for his former employer when his former employer died, it would be hard to characterize the inheritance as any sort of performance related employment bonus.
