There is a possibility that she may be entitled to one-half of the increase in value, starting with the value of the plan on the date you were married to her until the date of the divorce. But, since no community property was used or community time was used to increase the value, it is more likely that it will be treated as your sole and separate property.

I am unaware of any "info only" nomenclature on a bank account. If you put her name on it, she is probably a joint owner, and has the legal right to remove 50% of the deposits and will inherit the account outside of probate if you predecease her. You state she has no signatory rights, which suggests to me that this might be a trust account in which you have sole ownership and can revoke it by removing all the deposits at any time. She only obtains funds if you predecease her.

You should refuse this request. An inheritance received during marriage is separate property. You need to have your separate property inheritance confirmed by the court as your separate property not subject to community division. It isn't clear if you are undergoing a divorce, but I would assume that you are. This property should not be a part of your division of property discussion.
