You may be entitled to an interest by law if you live in a community property state. In addition, you cannot disinherit your spouse in any state except Georgia. If a spouse is left too little or no property he/she can waive the will and take an "elective share" in the estate. That share would be determined by the statutory share in an intestate estate (without a will). You may not receive the entire property but you will receive at least a statutory share.

If one spouse dies the ther spouse automacilly receives home correct?
Depends which spouse was actually paying the mortgage/paid for the house. If the deceased spouse paid for the house in it's entirety, it is their choice (which they will state in their will) of who the house goes to. If they do not state, it will probably go to the other spouse unless another family member contests the decision (for example, if you'd just married the spouse, who has adult offspring, they would be entitled to challenge the decision of the house going to yourself). If the mortgage/payment of the house was 50:50, it's not clearcut unless the deceased did leave their share of the house to you. (Although your 50% is still legally yours). If they wish to leave it to someone else, you can go to a court to contest the decision. If the house was a gift, it depends which of you it was actually gifted too. Although being married to the spouse does usually protect your right to the house (unless you were responsible for their death).

It depends upon who owns the property. If both names are on the title then each is legally entitled to 50% of the net proceeds.

Of course, that might change if the couple was in the process of a divorce and the divorce had been filed.
