With the limited facts you have provided, I would recommend asking the attorney you have in for your divorce proceedings. However, usually any inheritance a person receives would be considered their separate property. This would mean that if someone inherits money or property from someone, that is a gift to them and is their separate property. Accordingly, anything a person inherits usually is separate property and therefore, not taken into account if that person later divorces. This may change if the person co-mingled the money with community property such as depositing it a joint checking account. If they kept it in it's own account, it would stay separate property. This is why I would recommend speaking with your divorce attorney so that you can determine how to treat an asset such as an inheritance.
