Grace, about that inheritance.  I don't know where you live, but if you're in the US, some states consider inheritance marital property, while others consider it individual property if it never goes into a joint account.  An inheritance can also make it easier for them to leave (or for us, if it comes to us).  

I'm all set...
Here's the law here.

all property acquired through and including the date of divorce is part of the marital estate and subject to division. Accordingly, the divorce court has the authority to divide an inheritance received by only one spouse during the marriage.
