Generally speaking, no, but you probably need to sit down with an Atty who can ask all of the required questions to make sure that is a correct answer.

The short answer would be no. However, it is possible for other results to apply, such as if you deposit the funds into a joint account. You will need to discuss this with your attorney who can give you personalized advice based on your particular circumstances.
