My brother and his wife are heading for divorce. I (sister) paid for the home with inharitance from by fathers death. Does she have any legal right to the home?

Where?

In NY it depends on the agreement when the home was purchased, other divorce factors. For example, the inheritance paid for the home. This meant joint funds paid for something else, as opposed to the home.

Has the home increased in value since its purchase?
