Consult a probate attorney immediately. A surviving spouse has preferred status and may be automatically eligible for a certain portion of the estate depending on how long she has been married to the decedent. Your attorney can help you claim what is yours.
I am not a lawyer. My lawyer had us specify that the children, if they had any, would be included in our will. We are in Texas and inheritance laws are different by state.
Yes, life insurance is considered an asset in an estate because it is included in the total value of the deceased person's assets when calculating their estate's value for inheritance and tax purposes.
If not included in the Will, then nothing. Though you could detest this in court depending on your circumstances.

The items are typically returned to their rightful owners or passed on to family members if the ownership is unknown. If the items are of significant value or legal importance, they may need to be included in the deceased person's estate and dealt with according to their will or inheritance laws.
Life Insurance and EstatesNO, not if the named beneficiary is not deceased. The proceeds of a life insurance policy belong to the named beneficiary not to the deceased. It should not under any circumstances be included in the estate of a deceased or the probate process. If no beneficiary is named or if all beneficiaries are deceased then their is no alternative. When their is no named beneficiary then the value of the life insurance policy reverts to the insured and must then be included as part of the deceased estate

Yes the canceled debt should be included. It is the same as income. Taxes have to be paid on all income.
insurance proceeds are distributed to named beneficiaries In addition an insurance policy of a deceased that does not have a named beneficiary will be included in the probate procedure and the state's probate law of succession will apply.
When a person insured by a life insurance policy dies during the term of the policy the proceeds are paid to the beneficiary or beneficiaries. Life insurance death benefit proceeds are usually not subject to state and federal income taxation. But, if there is no beneficiary, the death benefit proceeds of the life insurance policy may be included in the estate of the deceased. Then, it may be subject to state, federal and inheritance taxes.
Yes, you will have to pay estate taxes on inherited property. In the United States an estate taxes is always imposed on the transfer of the "taxable estate" of a deceased person.
