1 Answer from Attorneys
While your wife can assert anything that a fertile imagination can come up with, Florida law clearly supports that inheritances are not marital assets. This assumes they are not co-mingled with marital assets.
If you opt to proceed without the assistance of counsel, be aware that you will not be entitled to a �do over� if things go badly.
The above information is provided without any consideration/payment having been received, and without full knowledge of all of the facts.
An internet inquiry is no substitution for an in-office consultation with an attorney.
If your situation falls within the Greater Tampa Bay area (Hillsborough, Pinellas or Pasco Counties) , I would be happy to schedule you for a no obligation half hour office consultation.
