Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Illinois

Re: will

I'm sorry to hear about your mother's condition.

An inheritance is not considered marital property unless you comingle it with marital assets. Therefore, in order to keep it separate for your divorce proceedings, you will want to maintain it in a separate account and not mix it with your general assets.

Since this answer is based soley on the information you have provided in your posting, it is possible that the answer could change if there were additional information presented that was not provided. Therefore, you should not consider this answer legal advice, but you should discuss this matter with your divorce attorney for his/her comprehensive legal advice.

Good luck to you.
