It depends on whether there was a will disposing of the real estate. It goes to whoevever is named in the will to have it. If the husband died without a will (intestate), the real estate passes according to state law for intestate succession, which is usually to the surviving spouse and children in (not necessarily equal) shares.

What happens in Texas to the entire estate if a spouse dies without a will?

If all of the decedent's descendants are also descendants of the surviving spouse, then the surviving spouse gets everything. If not, then the surviving spouse gets to keep her half of the community property and also gets a life estate in one-third of the decedent's separate real property and 1/3 of the decedent's separate personal property (which includes cash). The surviving spouse also gets the right to live in the homestead for however long she chooses, until she abandons it, but she must pay the interest on the mortgage and taxes with respect to the home. The decedent's children get the rest, and they are responsible for principal reductions on the home mortgage and any insurance.


Who is entitled to household items when a parent dies intestate?

When the parent dies intestate, the estate gets the goods and they are divided according to the laws of the state. If a parent still survives, they will inherit all of the property of the spouse if there are no children that are still minors. Without a surviving spouse, the household goods will typically be divided fairly between the descendants. If they can't divide them equally, the executor can either decide who gets what, though the value must be equal, or sells the item and divides the proceedes.
