It will be indexed in the probate records for future/historical reference purposes only.
Does a wife of 20-years have the legal right to the house when the husband dies without a will and he had children from a previous marriage?
She should have the rights to the house. Normally when a person dies without a will, the state has a default will that they use to determine who gets the assets. Check with an attorney for your state. * In every state the current spouse of the deceased is entitled to the homestead or a portion thereof. Generally the largest portion of an estate is awarded to the surviving spouse by means of the state probate succession laws when the person dies intestate. Furthermore, the primary residence of the married couple is never entered into probate procedure in community property states or included in probate procedure in other states unless the property title bears the names of persons other than the surviving spouse.

When a person dies owning real estate, their estate must be probated in order for title to the real estate to pass to the heirs legally. The estate must be probated whether the decedent died with or without a will. The property can be sold by the estate during the probate procedure once the debts of the decedent have been satisfied. If the property is not sold by the estate, it becomes the property of the heirs once the probate procedure has been completed. The heir(s) can convey the property by deed, citing the probate case as their source of title.
