I am married and live in California. I have inherited some money from my father and I want to know if this inheritance is community property or does it just belong to me alone?

Property acquired during marriage by "gift, bequest, devise, or descent" (i.e. inter vivos or testamentary gift or intestate succession) is the acquiring spouse's separate property. [Ca Const. Art. I § 21; Ca Fam § 770(a)(2)]
