Whatever else you do, be sure to keep the funds you receive by way of inheritance separate from any other funds. Inheritances are considered separate property of the inheriting spouse; so ordinarily your husband would not be entitled to any of the inheritance at the time of divorce. However, if you mix the inheritance money with other funds acquired during the marriage and cannot "trace" them back to the time of inheritance, they can "become" joint funds of the marital partners.
