Re: legacies in a divorce
the fact that you are separated from your husband but still married to him will mean that the legacy you have inherited will be considered a family asset and as such will be taken into consideration when deciding any financial settlement on divorce. This will however be only one of many factors to be considered.
If I can help further in advising on possible claims by your husband on this legacy or a proper settlements if the marriage is dissolved, please let me know.
