My husband inherited millions and forced me to take Social Security at 62
The Moneyist
‘He forced me to take Social Security at 62’: My husband inherited millions, but never gave me a penny. If I divorce him, would I get any of it?
‘We have five rental properties — two of them were inherited — and the rental money goes into a joint checking account’

Dear Quentin,
I am thinking about divorce. My husband inherited a few million dollars from his father when he passed away. Am I entitled to any of that should I choose to divorce? I live in Texas. He doesn’t share his information on his bank accounts so I have no idea what I would be entitled to.
He forced me to take Social Security at 62. I am 65 now and have been collecting Social Security since I was 62½. I claimed my benefits early because my husband never would give me money to put in my account.
