This is a complicated issue. Generally, a wife has no legal claim to any property inherited by her husband during his life. However, she may inherit an interest in any property he owns at the time of his death unless it was bequeathed to some other beneficiary in a valid Will. She may also have a claim to property he inherited if marital assets were used to maintain or improve it. An example would be real property such as a two family home inherited by the husband. If you think your situation is similar to any mentioned above you should consult with an attorney who can explain your rights and options.
