I had a rich relative who gave me a roof-top sea-side apartment. I got married a few years ago and am now thinking of divorcing. The apartment is registered in my name only. Would my husband be entitled to part of this ?

Thus a husband whose wife was given an apartment would have no legal claim on it should they divorce and it would remain the wife’s exclusive property.
