Is inheritance considered joint property of the couple?
The nature of inherited property is often different from the common property of the couple. If the estate is inherited by one party alone and there is no agreement or clear meaning of gift, it is generally not considered as joint property of the couple. However, if the inheritance is used for the coupleโs living expenses or business operations, different determinations may occur depending on how the inheritance is actually used. Only with professional legal advice can you clarify your rights and interests and avoid future disputes.
