If you want your wife to inherit your property (as she should) then you must execute a will to that effect and make certain it meets the requirements of the state where you live. If the money is all you have you could make your wife the beneficiary of your bank accounts. That could avoid probate and could be done at the bank.

If you do not do any of the above then when you die your property will pass to your next of kin according to the laws of intestacy of your state. Depending on the amount, your wife may inherit it all but the estate would need to be probated. That costs money. You can check your state at the link below.
