Splitting Assets Like Inheritance After Divorce (Mini-Episode)

This mini-episode comes directly from a question sent to our
teamand is part of the show's Lightning Round where we answer
your questions.
Do You Divide Inheritance Among Assets?

 


First off, I'm sorry. I can only assume this question comes at a
painful time in your life.


A divorce is one of the hardest things you may walk through for
many reasons, but certainly it is the case financially. How you
split an inheritance depends on the state you live in to exactly
how your assets will be divided. 


This quickly becomes a legal issue rather than only a financial
issue. As long as a couple of things are clear that I'll discuss
on the show, you will likely be able to make a case to
receive a full inheritance.
