Legal Question in Family Law in California
community property
My sister and I inherited my fathers house in 1992. I married my wife in 1988. Is she intitled to any share of the property?

Re: community property
Property that is received as an inheritance is separate property. The status of the property can be changed if the inheritance is commingled with community property. A community property interest can result from the use of community property being used to pay for or maintain the property. Consult with an attorney to fully explore the facts of your case.
