Inherited property starts out as a spouse's separate property. However, it can become community property under certain circumstances.
When in doubt, I suggest that you consult with an experienced family law lawyer. Experience is not expensive, it's priceless!

No, property inherited by either spouse during marriage is the separate property of the inheriting spouse.
