California Law - Inheritance

An inheritance is the separate property of the spouse who receives it.

An inheritance may remain separate property even if deposited in a joint bank account.

The cash deposited must be clearly traceable to the inheritance.

In this way, an inheritance is like any other separate property a spouse brings to a marriage.

Cases:

Braud (1996), 53 Cal Rptr 2d 179, 45 Cal App 4th 797 (discusses tracing of inheritance through bank account).
