If your former spouse’s father passed away, you will not be entitled to his inheritance money if the inherited money was kept in your spouse’s name and if he or she did not commingle the money with other marital funds. However, if your former spouse put the inherited money into a joint account with you or commingled the money with marital funds, you may be eligible to claim some of the inherited money.
