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.

Does an inheritance have to be shared with a spouse?
In many jurisdictions there is a concept called "non-marital property" meaning that if property comes to you by inheritance, then unless you do something that gives your spouse some "equities" or rights in it, no, it does not have to be "shared" and can remain yours alone. In some jurisdictions that concept has been outmoded, or has very weak rules about what it means to do something that gives your spouse rights in the property, and everything is fair game. If you're not sure it's time to check out your state's laws or ask a lawyer who knows or can research the laws of the state that will govern your rights in the property and what you can and can not do with it without jeopardizing your separate rights in it.
