If a man dies childless, 1/4 of his estate will go to his wife, and the remaining part will be given to his other heirs. And if the man has children from that or another wife, the wife gets 1/8th of the estate, and the remaining part will be inherited by his other heirs. A wife does not inherit anything from the land of a house or a garden or a farm, or from any other land, nor does she inherit from the proceeds of such lands. She does not also inherit from that which stands on that land, like the house and the trees, but she inherits from their proceeds. The same rule applies to the trees and crops and buildings standing on the land of a garden, and on agricultural land, or on any other lands.

∙ 13y agoIt depends on the state.
A spouse cannot be disinherited in most states.They have a basic right of inheritance under the law and if omitted from the will the spouse will usually receive an intestate share of the estate. This right is called the right of election. The surviving spouse can file a claim in the probate court where the estate is being probated. She/he should consult with the attorney who is representing the estate, or a private attorney, about filing a claim.
