Why Inheritance Matters in Divorce

Inheritance can be a major issue in divorce. Whether you’ve inherited money, property, or shares in the family business, the future of these assets is often disputed during financial settlements. In some cases, a windfall received before or during the relationship could be seen as a joint asset — especially when it has already been shared between spouses over time. Alternatively, one party might see it as being theirs alone — leading to arguments about the overall settlement. With expert legal guidance, you’re much more likely to retain a significant portion of your inheritance, or ensure the fair share you deserve.

Lowry Legal’s inheritance and divorce solicitors specialise in making sure you get the best possible outcome. We help high net worth individuals to navigate even the most complex situations, protecting their assets and securing fairer shares of the matrimonial pot in the process. With our expertise, you can feel confident that your inheritance is being handled properly — offering greater clarity and financial security as you move forward.

“A high-octane team large enough for a wealth of expertise and experience but small enough to have rich discussions, pool ideas and know their clients and cases personally.”

How Lowry Legal Can Help

Speak to a Lowry Legal solicitor about your financial situation and any concerns you might have over inheritance and divorce.

We’ll look at how your inheritance has been handled and whether it should be included in the divorce settlement.

Whether you’re aiming to keep your windfall separate or ensure you get a fair share from a spouse, we’ll guide you through every step in the legal process towards the right outcome.

If you’re not considering the immediate implications for divorce and inheritance — but do have one eye on the future — we can help you set up trusts, nuptial agreements, and other safeguards for protecting inherited wealth.

Whenever needed, we can work with financial experts and other valuable third parties, such as family mediators, to ensure you get the best possible chance of a simpler, less stressful, separation.
