The house is attached to the real estate. Real property, as opposed to personal property, is land and anything attached to it. The wife owns the land therefore she also owns the house.

If there is no will, you are likely to inherit the house, unless there were children that are not yours. And even if there is a will that doesn't name you, the spouse usually gets a 'dower' right in any real property owned by the husband at any point in the marriage. Get a will! You state may even have a 'statutory will' a form that you can fill out and will serve as a valid testamentary.

It depends on the state and his will, if he gives everything to you in his will, or at least the house, then you have no issue at all, but if there are children from a previous relationship and the husband has no will, you might have to buy them out or sell the place if they inherit under the state laws of intestacy. Check with your local laws and make sure you and your husband have wills.

The heirs can only inherit what the decedent owned. If she didn't have clear title then you won't inherit clear title. At some point the title will need to be cleared up. That will be whenever you wish to sell or mortgage the property.
