Is comingled inheritance community property in CA?
The only fact that is relevant in your post is that the monies were ‘converted’ from separate property to ‘marital’ property by deposit into the joint account. The property can not be re-converted without specific agreement of the parties. EDITED FOR HEATHER: Sorry dear, but you would have been right had the property remained separate. For example, if a separate account had been opened or the monies deposited in a CD in favor only of the person who inherited. As it sits now, the money has been converted and remains so without specific agreement. It’s the same as a home. If I own a home that is paid for and then get married, then sometime in the future put my new wife’s name on the deed, I cannot take her name off during the divorce because she now is considered legally a co-owner of the asset.
