No, you're not entitled to his inheritance. It's not a marital asset. He keeps it. It doesn't matter if it's in a trust or not. You don't get any of it.

clearly pp is not an attorney--the money in a trust is protected. Money that comes out of the trust and is comingled is marital property.

Speak to an estate attorney.

OP was specifically asking if she was entitled to a large sum of money in a trust. She is only entitled to marital assets. Money in a trust is not a marital asset. She said nothing about the money being commingled. Yes, I am an attorney. Can't say the same about you.

My understanding is no, not in Virginia. Cant speak for other states.

If he can withdraw his portion, maybe you could use same pressure he used on you, to make it community property.

Aside from $, how long have you been wanting to leave? 36 years is a long time to stay married to someone you don't love. Maybe you should have at least left when you inherited $. That could have been your nest egg?
