In Massachusetts, a wife is generally not entitled to her husband's inheritance after divorce, as inheritance is typically considered separate property. However, if the inheritance was used to benefit the marital estate or if it was commingled with marital assets, it may be subject to division during the divorce proceedings. Each case can vary significantly based on specific circumstances, so it’s advisable to consult a family law attorney for personalized guidance.
