Any money that you receive as an inheritance is your separate property. Your Husband would only have an interest in this property if it was also left to him. If you have a very significant separate estate it may have some impact on the division of assets, but it does not mean that your Husband would be entitled to keep his entire inheritance. Helena M.

Thank you. I kinda thought that if I received land and my husband and I divorced that he would not be entitled to it. Or be able to hold it against me in order to protect his retirement. ---

If I am due to inherit property from my deceased father, and am still living with my husband, and he requests a seperation and then divorce, would he be entitled to my property? Basically, can he use it against me to try and save his retirement?
