Normally, the homeowners policy would continue for the paid up portion of the policy with the proceeds going to the estate, however, state laws and regulations differ. Since you may not be in this state, you should look on the policy and call the insurance agent. He will be gland to answer your question. That is his business and how he makes his living. He might want to continue the policy while the house is in probate or he might want to work out something different. The state law might have different requirements. He will know the law for that state.

Wrongful death will generally be covered by the liability portion of the policy. Many people skimp on this which is very foolish in my opinion. The difference between a $300,000 coverage and $500,000 coverage for a comprehensive policy in CA is about $10/year! I would also recommend looking at a personal umbrella policy. They can be very inexpensive especially if you have sufficient assets for someone to sue you for.

Can a wife sue homeowner's insurance for her husband's accidental death on their property?
No, Presumably You and your spouse are the named insureds on your policy. Your Homeowners Insurance policy is Hazard Insurance for your home that protects the insured for covered perils such as fire, wind, hail, theft etc. A Homeowners Policy usually offers Liability coverage which protects the insured(s) for costs associated with liabilities for certain injuries or damages to others or the property of another for which the named insured could be held liable. Since there is no color of law that allows one to be "Liable" to ones self. There would be no expectation of coverage for the death of the named insured or the spouse from your Homeowners Insurance Policy. Although one can certainly sue almost anyone for any thing. In this case the suit would almost certainly fail due to no coverage. The type of Insurance that you would need to cover an accidental death would be Life Insurance or an Accidental Death Policy.
