What happens to an inheritance in a divorce or separation depends on the terms of the inheritance. If the inheritance states that marriage is a factor, then the married couple will likely inherit the property since it is a common asset.

I have a Legal separation now I want a divorce?

Legal separation is to the same thing as divorce and is not always a prerequisite to a obtaining a dissolution of marriage (i.e. divorce). Although many of the issues (such as alimony, child support, etc) that would traditionally be dealt with in a divorce were done in your legal separation, you still need to go through the divorce process, starting with filing for divorce.
