    Pay off YOUR debts first, then savings & pension...possibly hubby's debts too if you can then stop him running them up again - if not, I probably wouldn't....

    I really would NOT pay off your husband’s debts.
    It sounds like you now have debt in YOUR name though, because of him?
    I know you’re asking for financial advice here, not relationship advice. But your husband has caused debts, possibly in your name, and now it sounds like you feel you need to be secretive about your inheritance?
    I wouldn’t be too quick to lock money away in a pension if there is any question in your mind about the health of your relationship. You may need accessible cash if you split up. Hope I’m way off on a tangent! But it’s a big alarm bell that you’re being secretive about this.
