My sincere sympathies on the loss of your Mother.
Make sure you do NOT co-mingle anything with your sooon to be ex-spouse. Don't sell anything and put it in a joint account , etc.
Inheritance, THAT IS KEPT SEPARATE, is not marital property.

Whatever you inherit will be your separate property.

Under almost all circumstances, in New York an inheritance is not divided in a divorce settlement, but remains the individual property of the person who received it.
