A widowed relationship is when the wife's husband dies or gets murdered.
You are still legally married. In the US a wife cannot be disinherited by a will in most states. She has the right to a statutory share of her husband's estate in almost every state. If her husband dies intestate (without a will) she has a statutory right to a portion of his estate in almost every state.You can check the laws of intestacy for your state at the related question link provided below.
Still the wife.
There is no "right to care for" a husband, so no, she cannot sign it away or regain it.
Dower is the surviving wife right to a portion of the husband's estate when he dies. It is currently called statutory share.
Yup. If a husband dies with ownership in a house deeded in his name only, and his wife dies 17 years later, do her children have legal right to her property when she dies?
she died with him
The wife take it.
