My understanding is that assets already existed/secured before marriage is considered individual assets, including Inheritance obtained before marriage is considered marital assets as long as kept under individual name.
However, What about if Inheritance is inherited during marriage, is it considered marital assets (even if kept under individual name)?
According to what I found online, Singapore lawyer's site, it makes no difference whether the inheritance is before or during marriage .
But must be careful not to do certain things or allow certain things to be done:
Like : don't, like this guy, ever say that it is shared properly.
Don't live in the property with spouse .( becomes marital home)
Rental and expenditure on property... money goes to/ from individual account ( I think cannot deposit your salary into that account?)
Don't use spouse's ( and I think own earnings after marriage ) money to do reno or improvements or anything for the property .
And dunno what else.
Same applies regardless of when was the Inheritance
