You need to check the laws in your jurisdiction. In the United States there are different legal schemes for community property states (of which there are nine) and non-community property states. If the husband died intestate (without a will) the laws of intestacy in each state would govern the distribution of the property. You can check the laws of your state at the link below.
If the husband will not add his wife's name to the deed as a joint tenant with the right of survivorship or as a tenant by the entirety then he should make certain to draft a will leaving the property to her.

Was this property bought before or after marriage? Either way, if you are married and want to sell real estate or a car or such, both spouses have to sign their consent to the transaction. So if your husband sold something behind your back, you might have a case. If it was bought before that, there's room for argument.
