INHERITANCE THAT CAN NOT BE SHARED DURING DIVORCE

 

                        INHERITANCE THAT CAN NOT BE SHARED DURING DIVORCE

    During the divorce process, some disagreements may arise between the spouses while sharing the inheritance. So how can we deal with this disagreement?  Sharing inheritance during divorce can create conflict between spouses and become a painful situation. There are many solutions to this problem, but these are especially, increasing communication between the parties, getting professional help and applying to court.

    The first of the solutions is increasing the communication between the parties because lack of communication plays a big role in this dispute process. For example, spouses can solve the problems they experience when they clearly explain their wishes and desires and take a mature stance. In other words, healthy communication contributes greatly to the solution of this problem.

    Moreover, spouses can solve the conflict problem they experience by getting professional help, because the divorce process significantly wears the parties out physically and psychologically. For example, by consulting a mediator, they can solve their problems in a shorter time and without being emotionally worn out.

    Finally, applying to the court contributes to officially solving the problem. The court approaches the rights of the parties in a protective manner and makes the best decision because children also have some rights when sharing the inheritance. For example, as the findlaw site mentions in its article How Is Inheritance Handled in Divorce " In most cases, each spouse can bequeath their own separate property as well as their share of the marital property how they see fit." (Coble, 2023) Also, as The Ramsey Show Highlights YouTube channel mentions in its video titled How Do I Split An Inheritance With Family When It's All In My Name "An inheritance that belongs entirely to one of the spouses does not require sharing during the divorce process." Applying to the court in this process solves the problem with the help of this and similar legal information. (Ramsey, 2013)

    Consequently, during the divorce process, some disagreements may arise between the spouses while sharing the inheritance and solutions to the problem can be found by using methods like, increasing communication between the parties, getting professional help and applying to court. In this difficult process, the parties should not cause any problems and should end the process and resolve it as soon as possible without any damage.
