Husband’s nonmarital inheritance income was not transmuted into marital property by deposit into checking account that contained marital property; deposits of nonmarital inheritance were easily identified and husband provided bank statements and corroborating testimony tracing funds, account into which deposits were made was opened by husband in only his name shortly after wife vacated marital residence, and within days of deposits, husband transferred funds from checking account into account which was in husband’s name only.
