Most assets acquired during a marriage in California are considered shared property between you and your spouse, but inheritance is an exception. If you receive inheritance while you are married, your spouse does not have any right to that money as long as you keep it separate from your spouse and your shared property.

What percent is a daughter-in-law entitled when her husband has died and they have no children?

The daughter-in-law is entitled to the widow's portion of her husband's estate, if local law establishes such an entitlement. Her entitlement to a portion of the estate of the parents of a dead husband where there are no children is probably nothing under intestacy laws, depending on the jurisdiction. Even if there are children, the inheritance may go to the children, with the daughter-in-law serving only as a trustee of their inheritance, not to the woman herself. If there is a will, it will be dependent on how it was written.
