The laws vary by state, but generally speaking, the property your husband has before you are married, remains his if you are divorced. However, if you have contributed to the care, maintenance, improvement or have contributed to the payment of the mortgage, taxes or other costs of owning the house, you may be entitled to a percentage of the capital gain on the property for the time period of your marriage.

If he dies without a Will leaving the property to you, you will be entitled to a portion under the state laws of intestate succession. If he leaves the property to someone else in his Will you will be entitled to a portion as the surviving spouse under the doctrine of election. You should consult with an attorney on your own if this issue troubles you. This is an important matter that should be discussed before you marry.
