It is more complicated than just "whose names are on the deed." The wife doesn't own the house if she didn't pay for it or receive any portion of it as a gift. If the husband has a will that disposes of the house to someone else, the wife may have a hard time keeping it. If there is no will, the wife may be in a good position to inherit the house, or at least half of it (if there are kids too). If there is a prenutial agreement, then that may include additional details regarding claims made while the husband is still living (e.g., divorce), but may not be admissible as a "will substitute" unless proper formalities were followed when drafting and signing it.
I know of a case in Switzerland where husband's family legally reclaimed the entire property after husband died and immediately evicted the wife (who had lived there for over fifty years) with only the clothes on her back.
