What happens if I get a divorce and I am going to obtain an inheritance or money?
As a general rule, money that is not commingled and from an inheritance is not part of the divorce proceedings.
If you are planning on obtaining a sum of money that is outside your normal income from an inheritance then you should keep the money in a separate account.
There are always angles and avenues that attorneys will attempt to use to have the money part of the proceedings, but the major factor is whether the money has been commingled with other accounts. The best advice is to keep any money that is from parents or inheritance in a separate account and not touch it until the divorce is final.
Have a great weekend and don’t hesitate to contact me if you should have any additional questions.
