Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts
I am receiving an inheritance from my mother. Can I keep this asset in my name in a separate account from our joint account with my husband so that it is only mine or are all assets no matter to whom equally shared even if they are in separate accounts and never have been shared?

It is your money and you can keep it in a separate account. It becomes and issue if the funds are used to support the marriage in the event of a divorce. If you are contemplating a divorce, you should contact an attorney now to deal with the issue in advance.
If you are presently in the middle of a divorce, you should consult with an attorney.
