Does my husband get half of estate or insurance money when someone in my family passes on?

Dear Ocean,

Thank you for your inquiry. Not unless you gift him some of the money by putting his name on it in some capacity. Inheritance is not subject to equitable distribution, so you keep it all. However depending on the amount of pension income or other benefits you receive, that income could possibly be attributed to you when considering the alimony question in the event of a divorce. For example, if you earned 40K from your job or were unemployed but had an earning ability of 40K and also were receiving 10K from the pension, you would be considered a 50K income person for the alimony issue. Hope this helps. Stay well.
