It depends on who the inheritance was declared to. If you're no longer living together then I would say no, but you should talk to a lawyer if this person is giving you trouble about it.

The answer depends on many variables:when the property was acquired,whether it was acquired by inheritance or deed,state laws regarding the disinheritance of a spousewhether you live in a community or separate property stateIn almost every state in the United States, a spouse cannot be disinherited by will. The Right of Election is a remedy for spouses who have been disinherited in a will or who are dissatisfied with their inheritance. The law allows them to take an intestate share if they were disinherited or if that share would be greater than their inheritance under the will. In that case they must file an election with the court. The Right of Electionis extended to children in some states if they have been improperly disinherited by the testator. When a spouse exercises their Right of Election they must forgo the provisions made for them in a will and take the intestate share that is generally provided by states that follow the Doctrine of Election.A spouse who has been treated unfairly in a will should consult with an attorney who is familiar with state law. The attorney will review the facts particular to the situation and explain the options.
