Re: Inheritance

No, property that you inherit is your separate property. Only community property is subject to division in a divorce.

It is important that you do not commingle or mix up the funds that you inherited with your marital property, for example do not deposit inherited money into your joint banking account or you will have a more difficult time establishing which funds are separate and which are community property.
