As a general rule, the surviving spouse can at least claim his/her community property interest in the property; the balance of the prop interest would be subject to claims by the decedent's heirs at law (children, siblings, parents, etc.). If there are no such heirs at law, then the surviving spouse should be able to claim 100%.
