Legal Question in Family Law in Colorado

divorce and inheritance

I have just inherited with siblings undivided interest in real estate. I further may be gifted land or money starting this year from my family. If I were to get divorced would my husband be entitled to my inheritance or gifts? If money gifts were taken and invested with him as joint would he be entitled to that also?

Thankyou in advance.
