No. A spouse has no right to any interest in their husband's or wife's inheritance. In most States in the event of the death of either husband or wife their estate automatically passes to the surviving spouse. There are other states that allow other immediate family other than the surviving spouse to lay claim on assets if the deceased did not have a legal will. If the husband or wife has a legal will that designates the inheritance or other property or possessions to other family members/people, the surviving spouse may contest the will but that is usually not very successful in most cases. Regarding marital assets and divorce: most states consider an inheritance separate property and not part of the marital assets as long as the recipient keeps it separate.
