The Wife.
A husband is called a WIDOWER when his wife dies.
When a husband dies the wife is called his widow.
Yup. If a husband dies with ownership in a house deeded in his name only, and his wife dies 17 years later, do her children have legal right to her property when she dies?
A widowed relationship is when the wife's husband dies or gets murdered.
Still the wife.
It is called a bereavement. The man becomes a widower.
George Washington's wife was Martha Washington.
If she states in her will that her husband shall receive that account he will. She may leave it to anyone she chooses. If she dies without a will it will pass as intestate property according to the laws of your state. See the link provided below for state-by-state intestacy laws.
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.
she died with him
The wife take it.
