What are the dower right of wives in Missouri?
In Missouri, dower rights have largely been replaced by statutory rights, specifically the right of a surviving spouse to claim a share of the deceased spouse's estate. Under Missouri law, if a spouse dies intestate (without a will), the surviving spouse is entitled to a portion of the estate, which can be one-half or one-third depending on whether there are surviving children. Additionally, a spouse has the right to elect against a will, allowing them to claim a statutory share instead of what is provided in the will. Overall, these rights ensure that a surviving spouse is financially protected after the death of their partner.

In Texas does wife get all if husband die?
The answer is somewhat complicated.Community PropertyAll property acquired during a marriage is presumed to be community property. Under Texas laws, if you are married and are survived by a spouse and children, then:Your surviving spouse will inherit all your community property if all your children are also the children of your surviving spouse;Otherwise, all your one-half interest in the community estate will pass to your children, with your spouse keeping only his or her one-half interest.If you do not have any children, then your surviving spouse will inherit all of your community property.Separate PropertyIf your property is characterized as separate property, the distribution scheme is different:If you are survived a spouse and children, your surviving spouse is entitled to one third of your separate personal property and only a life estate (the right to use the property until his or her death) in one-third of your separate real property. The rest would be inherited outright by the children of the deceased spouse.If you are married but have no children or other descendants, your surviving spouse would be entitled to all the separate personal property. But if you have surviving parents and siblings, the surviving spouse would only be entitled to one-half of the separate real property with the other half passing to the parents, siblings or descendants of siblings in a manner set forth by the statutes.https://texaswillsandtrustslaw.com/2010/10/18/dying-without-a-will-the-texas-intestacy-statutes/

The share bequeathed by your father to your brother upon your fathers death becomes your brothers rightful heirs to his estate even if he didnt have an estate when he himself died the heirs to his estate are his children unless specifically stated otherwise in his will if your brothers mother is still alive then she will be entitled to her entitlement but if the father had remarried and his spouse is still alive then she has no legal entitlement to anything If son did not have any descendants or a spouse, then the property will be distributed according to intestacy laws for that state, most likely the daughter will get it all. If Father has a surviving spouse, they are going to be entitled to a share, if not all of it. If the son did have a spouse or children, then an estate should be opened to distribute the share.
