Best Answer

You have misstated the situation. Your "daughter-in-law's" status in this situation is as the surviving spouse and the administrator of the estate. She has superior rights in both capacities. Your question should be more accurately stated as, "Does a widow have any rights to property when she is administrator of her husband's estate?" The simple answer is, of course.

As the surviving spouse she is entitled to all or part of her husband's estate under the provisions of the laws of intestacy in her jurisdiction if he had no Will. She is entitled to a share even if her husband devised his property to others by his Will. Jointly owned property would automatically pass to her outside of probate.

As the court appointed administer of his estate she has the authority to choose an attorney to represent the estate, to settle his estate according to law and distribute the assets after the debts have been paid.
