📜 How to Handle Inheritance in a California Divorce? | Los Angeles Divorce

📢 Got an inheritance and worried your spouse might get half in a divorce? Here’s what you need to know about inheritance in a California divorce.

📌 In California, inheritance is usually separate property—even if received during marriage.
That means your spouse typically has no claim to it.

⚠️ But here’s the catch:
If you commingle your inheritance—like depositing it into a joint bank account or using it for home improvements—it can lose its separate status.

💬 Real Case Example:
We helped a client who inherited $100,000 but used part of it for home upgrades. We traced the funds, protected what remained separate, and addressed the portion that became community property.

💼 At Divorce661, we:
✔ Identify what’s separate vs. community property
✔ Help protect your inheritance in divorce paperwork
✔ Ensure your judgment is court-approved and dispute-free
