In Arizona, there are two types of property. There is community property and separate property. Community property is all the assets that were acquired during a marriage or registered domestic partnership. Separate property includes any asset owned prior to the marriage or registered domestic partnership as well as anything bought with separate funds from either spouse after separation. Whether obtained before, during, or after the legal separation/divorce proceedings are complete-anything acquired by inheritance and gifts shall be the single and separate property of each party involved in those events.

The following items are included in the separate property:

Property Inheritance

When a person inherits property or money, they become the sole owner and all of their rights to use it. There are exceptions though; for example, when someone has inherited money and deposits what was given in a joint account with another individual – this might make them co-owners. A spouse may also be made the other partner if they inherit real estate while making their husband/wife an equal shareholder on titles that were just received about recently transferred properties where both individuals will now have access to ownership as well as any equity from such transactions like home mortgages being used by either party at times of need without having to go through binding legal proceedings beforehand.

• If you’re an inheritor of property, then you’ll have a lot more rights to use it 
• You won’t need to worry about merging ownership with someone else’s because it will be all yours 

Assets Owned Prior To Marriage

The law states that any property a spouse owns before the marriage is his or her own. This includes automobiles, jewels, and privately held bank accounts as well as other things like land and real estate. If there’s an agreement to make this property “community” following divorce then it will be shared equally between you both if your relationship ends but otherwise one of you would retain ownership over it in case of death unless agreed upon by all parties involved beforehand.

• Protect your assets
• Review and update wills, trusts, powers of attorney 
• Provide for children following separation or death
• Compensation For Personal Injuries

In the event of a personal injury lawsuit, one spouse may be entitled to compensation which will then belong only to them. While money can sometimes be used for joint purposes such as paying household expenses throughout the marriage, this settlement reverts back exclusively upon separation or divorce.

• Provides peace of mind (after you’ve already had a lawsuit)
• Prevents unfair distribution of money and assets from within the marriage, after a divorce
• Guarantees that the settlement does not have to be shared with an ex-spouse when they do indeed separate or divorce
