What if you were married to the deceased and he got land during the marriage but only his name in on the deed and you r still married when he dies?

That would depend on where you live. In states that recognise community property it does not matter if your name is on the deed, if you purchase the property during the marriage it is community property and both own it equally. In states that do not recognise community property, if his name is the only one on the deed, then it belongs only to him.


How long does a couple need to be married for property to be considered community property?

You do not necessarily have to be married to own jointly owned property and even when an individual is married for 60 years he could still keep property separate from his spouse. Property is considered jointly owned if you purchased it together (each contributing), your name is on the property, or in some situations when you are married and you have substantially contributed to the property. If your spouse has kept the property separate by keeping it in his name, only putting his money into it then it will be considered separate.
