Inheritance laws vary from state to state and depend upon the value of the property. In general, the surviving spouse and children inherit. You should talk to a lawyer or the Office of the Register of Wills for your region for more information.

If the house was originally in the husband's name and he dies then the survivng spouse dies no will there are 3 childrenthe dad was only 1 of their biological father who does the house go to?

It depends on the laws of the individual state. In general, if she was the mother of all three children, then the house would be split between the three of them. If she was not the mother of all his child, then the house would probably be divided between the spouse and his child. Consult an attorney in your jurisdiction.

Do you have any rights as an 18-year-old if your mother dies and your stepfather emotionally abuses you and this abuse may be racially motivated?

Emotional abuse can be upsetting, but it's no crime. At 18, you have the right to move out, or you can stay there (if he permits) on his terms. (I'm assuming the house is in his name.)
