If two people own property jointly the probate laws of the state in which the person dies and the laws concerning the way real property is held/titled determines ownership. The following may help answer your query:

  • Property owned by two people as Tenancy By The Entirety, or Joint Tenants (in some states), or Joint Tenants With The Right To Survivorship is not subject to probate and passes directly to the surviving spouse and/or named person(s).
  • Property owned solely by the decedent or as Tenants-In-Common is subject to probate and any interest in said property is included in the decedent's estate.
  • If your husband transferred his property to you by a quitclaim deed prior to his death then the property belongs to you and is not part of his estate.

Can a wife in Mississippi inherit her husband's inheritance?

This is a complicated issue. Generally, a wife has no legal claim to any property inherited by her husband during his life. However, she may inherit an interest in any property he owns at the time of his death unless it was bequeathed to some other beneficiary in a valid Will. She may also have a claim to property he inherited if marital assets were used to maintain or improve it. An example would be real property such as a two family home inherited by the husband. If you think your situation is similar to any mentioned above you should consult with an attorney who can explain your rights and options.
