Re: Money Obteneid as an ineritance.
Property received as an inheritance is your separate property. Since you apparently received money, you would have to place that money in a separate bank account or otherwise segregate it from the community property. In the event their is a divorce you would have the burden of proving that the money is your separate property. As time passes this may become more difficult. You need to discuss this matter with an attorney.
