[quote=Anonymous][quote]While I would use my inheritance to our family’s benefit, I never said we would [b]commingle all [/b]my inheritance. I am not sure where you and PP got that idea, but it’s crappy to be disparaging when you lack reading comprehension.[/quote]

He comingled, so that is the precedent and he likely expects it with your talk of "our" financial planning and all. If you co-mingle any of it or use it for joint benefit it likely becomes a joint asset in divorce in most states, given you stand to inherit millions you surely should learn what the law is in your jurisdiction. You lack basic legal knowledge of how 1/2 your parent's inheritance may go to DH and family.

[quote]Commingled inheritance may be subject to division in the event of a divorce or separation1234. If you have commingled your inheritance by depositing it into a shared bank account or have given your spouse access to and control over the inheritance, they may be able to claim it as marital property1. If the inheritance was used to benefit both you and your spouse or was commingled with joint property, it may be subject to division2. If you commingle your inheritance with the rest of your assets, its status may change to a marital asset instead3. Some courts hold that only a portion, or none, of the comingled funds may remain separate property IF the party can demonstrate that the funds were never intended to be shared4.[/quote]

Try mentioning to DH that you don't intend to comingle your inheritance and let us know his reaction.

The large windfall to come may be linked both to his drastic dialing back his career/earnings. He is also siphoning off a lot of money giving it to his family, is that supposed to last in perpetuity? Is his brother able bodied? And DH cut his income by 40% by not working to earn bonuses? What is he doing with that freed up time?

You also don't seem to be on the same page re: retirement. You seem to think you will always have a lot of control over your finances/assets but you may get a rude awakening. [/quote]
