The commingling of funds can occur in several ways. In the state of Florida, anything acquired during the course of the marriage is subject to equitable distribution, regardless of whose name is on the assets or liabilities. One exception to this is inheritance received by one spouse during the marriage, so long as that spouse puts the inheritance in a separate account that is only in their name and that does not hold any marital funds. In other words, the account holding the inheritance cannot be commingled with any joint or marital account, or used to hold other funds acquired during the marriage, such as weekly income. For example, if the other spouse’s name was added to the account holding the inheritance, that would constitute a commingling of the funds and as a result, the spouse would have effectively gifted half of the inheritance to their spouse.
