Not directly. The spouse that receives the inheritance can determine what is done with that inheritance. There is no automatic right for the other spouse to receive any of it.

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.

Is a separated spouse entitled to proceeds resulting from the sale of real estate by the other spouse in WV?
It depends upon who owns the property. If both names are on the title then each is legally entitled to 50% of the net proceeds. If the property is in the name of the "other spouse" alone then they have no legal obligation to share the proceeds. Of course, that might change if the couple was in the process of a divorce and the divorce had been filed.
