Does My Future Inheritance Affect My Divorce?

Does a Future Inheritance Affect My Divorce?
Inheritance can bring life-changing wealth — but what happens when divorce is also in the picture?

In this week’s episode of Divorce Explained, Leanne Townsend and Steve Benmor sit down with wealth mentor Myra Salzer to unpack how inheritances—whether expected or received—affect divorce, spousal support, and financial planning.

We’ll cover:

• What Ontario law says about inheritances before and after separation
• How timing and segregation impact what’s shared (and what isn’t)
• Why spousal support and future inheritances remain a gray area
• The emotional and financial challenges of managing sudden wealth

Tune in for insights on navigating one of the most complex intersections of money, law, and family.
