My husband's family gave him a piece of land as inherited property while we were married. If we build a house on the land and later down the road get a divorce, am I intitled to 50% of the property and house?

Will you be getting a loan on the home, how is the land mortaged, he can add your name to the deed to be sure you will.

My guess is that each state is somewhat different as to how it approaches division of property in a divorce; where I live, the real estate would be his because it was acquired by inheritance, but the improvements (house) would be divided between you because it was constructed as a marital asset.
