All the above is good advice. Now I have some sad, cynical advice: keep the money in your name only. Inheritances are "separate property" under divorce laws - at least in my community property state. I'm guessing it's the same in other states. However, once you co-mingle the inheritance with community property (i.e., putting in joint bank account) it become community property. You could put in an account in your name only and then move money out to a joint bank account as you need it to live or buy a house.
I know you have a happy marriage now. However, even happy marriages don't always stay that way. I would see a lawyer now, before you do anything with the money to see how it works in you state.
Is any of this inheritance in an IRA? There are additional rules and taxes for taking money out of an inherited IRA.
