Maybe not half, but a portion of the inheritance is. I have an aquaintance who's wife inherited 3 million from her parents. He abruptly moved her to Tennessee when he found out she had stage four lung cancer. Even tho she had a will leaving the 3 million to her sister, and the rest of her estate to her husband (community property) he still got 1 million of the inheritance on top of all the community property. So he got an extra million. That's the wonderful Tennesse state inhertance laws. But only if you are a selfish controlling money hungry spouse. The funny part is that Tennessee changed the law from husband to spouse only a few years ago. In the past the husband got the wifes inhertance but if the husband died she didn't. At the funeral, I over heard a "good ol boy" attorney friend of his asking, "did she die in Tennessee?, did she die in Tennessee?" He said "Yeah", and the attorney told him, "I taught you well son".

Does your husband have rights to your inheritance from your mom?
This depends on many factors. First and foremost are you in a community property state? Did the inheritance pass through a will or a trust? I would suggest you talk to an estate attorney. However, in most cases once you receive the inheritance into your estate as a married couple it becomes the property of both spouses. Therefore, they may have a right to half of the inheritance. Also if you have been married for a set period of time as designated by your state then they too may have a right to half of the inheritance. Once the inheritance was removed from your mother's estate in no longer was your mother's property, but was added to your estate. Being married give your spouse the right to marital assets of which this became when your mother's estate was settled and you received your inheritance.
