That would depend on the will if there is one and the laws of the country in which you live.

A will is the most important thing in respect of distributing a deceased's estate.

Can a domestic partner inherit a deceased partner's property?

Some states have passed laws that give a right of inheritance to domestic partners. Some states allow committed couples to register a domestic partnership that gives rights of inheritance. If you live in a state that does not provide legal rights to domestic partners then your surviving partner has no legal rights if you die. Since inheritance rights vary from state to state couples who are not legally married should always obtain legal advice in their state of residence to make certain they take the necessary legal steps to protect their partner in the event of their death. That protection may require a valid will or trust.


If you are an only child and your unmarried parent passes away with no will do you need to go through probate for land that he jointly owned with others?

Is a wife entitled to her husbands inheritance during marriage?

No. A spouse has no right to any interest in their husband's or wife's inheritance. In most States in the event of the death of either husband or wife their estate automatically passes to the surviving spouse. There are other states that allow other immediate family other than the surviving spouse to lay claim on assets if the deceased did not have a legal will. If the husband or wife has a legal will that designates the inheritance or other property or possessions to other family members/people, the surviving spouse may contest the will but that is usually not very successful in most cases. Regarding marital assets and divorce: most states consider an inheritance separate property and not part of the marital assets as long as the recipient keeps it separate.
