Is my inheritance part of a property settlement?
It depends on how long you have had that inheritance and how it has been used. If you kept the inheritance as your separate property (spouse's name may be on it also but only if it's as a matter of convenience) it will not normally be considered marital property. On the other hand, if you used that inheritance for the benefit of you and your spouse and family, it will usually be included in the marital property.
