Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts

The inheritance will be considered part of the marital estate, just like any other assets and property owned by either spouse. The way in which each particular account, asset, or property is divided really depends on a number of factors which require a more in-depth conversation. The answer to your question is that you are absolutely legally entitled to ask for a fair division of the inheritance money. How much you would likely be awarded really depends. Feel free to give our office a call and ask for Jessica Walsh if you would like to discuss your options. 617-357-4898.
