Re: Being sued for inheritance from ex son-in-law

Unless there is something very unusual about the settlement in your daughter's divorce case, the ex husband is entitled to nothing. Absent explicit agreement to the contrary, inheritances are not marital property, and, further, the inheritance, it seems was NOT something given during the marital period.

If you'd like to discuss the situation in further detail, please feel free to get in touch.
