If I get married and get a inherintance from my parents would he be entitled to that also? Also if a divorce was to happen would I have to split it with him?

The answer to that is no. If your parents lift you that money or what ever it is your mate can't touch it. I don't care if you go the money while you where married it was left to you. I am not sure of other states but that is how it goes in California.
I had money left to me and my husband didn't get a dame of that money. I also but it in a different bank under my median name.

Depends what state your in, but he would be entitled also. In order not to split it with him, you need a prenup agreement. If you have these doubts, and dont want to share, dont marry him. What if he was getting the inherintance , how would you feel, what would you do?

I'm pretty sure that Inherited moneys are NOT community property. but do some checking if you think divorce is an issue now.

Depends on where you live. In Canada, the answer would be yes. Anything obtained after the marriage is split.

Yes, I believe that in most places an inheritance would be considered community property. I would have a pre-nuptial agreement drawn up to make sure that your money remains yours!

Depends on whether or not you are in a community property state. Consult with a good attorney for your own protection.

Yes he would be entitled unless you get him to sign a prenuptial agreement. For this I would contact an attorney

If you have a prenup and include that inheritance in that prenup and make sure it says specifically that he is not to receive any payout from this inheritance than NO he won't see a penny of it...

you can keep you inheritance to yourself as long as you never mix it with marital funds, then it will become half his. for example, if you take the money and put it into a joint account or use it to pay off the house, or a down payment for a car, he will be entitled to half. if you put it into a separate account with your name only and do not mingle it with your marital funds AT ALL it will be yours.
