Hi

Can anyone tell me if my wife is entitled to half my inheritance. My dad dies 18 months ago and left me a fair amount of money and with more to come from sale of property.

If i were to divorce would my wife be entitled to half of everything. My dad left it to me and then if i had died my kids. No mention of her.

Please advise.

Thanks

There is no automatic entitlement but an inheritance is a resource available to you, so whether she gets some of it will depend on all the other factors involved. I have to say, it''s quite common for spouses to get effectively at least part of an inheritance. Sorry.
