Pennsylvania Law - Inheritance Gifts and an inheritance from a party's parents are separate property. But earnings on those amounts are marital property. Cases: Smith (1995) 653 A.2d 1259, 439 Pa.Super. 283 (The wife had received gifts and an inheritance from her parents during the 30 year marriage. The court found that the body of the inheritance, which amounted to over $700,000, was separate property. The money was deposited in a bank account. The interest on that account was held to be marital property. Moreover, the court used the existence of that property to justify awarding the husband 61% of the marital estate, not 50%. The marital estate was worth approximately $1.4 million.)
