Typically the spouse will inherit the property of a deceased spouse. A will may assign things to other beneficiaries. Consult a licensed attorney in the state in question.

What are the property rights as a wife after the husband dies?

Property rights for a wife after her husband's death typically depend on the jurisdiction and whether the couple had a will or trust in place. In many places, a surviving wife may have rights to a portion of the deceased husband's estate, often referred to as a "spousal share" or "elective share." If the husband died intestate (without a will), state laws usually dictate how the property is distributed, often granting the surviving spouse a significant share. Additionally, any jointly owned property usually transfers directly to the surviving spouse.

Can an ex wife put a lien on her ex husband's inherited property from deceased mother?

Let me see if I've got this right... the ex-husband inherited property from his deceased mother. If the ex-wife has no claim to that property, she cannot put a lien on that property. Now if she were awarded a portion of that property in the settlement, and agreed to sell her portion to her husband, she could retain a lien on it until it was paid off, but I'm not getting the impression that's the case here. Basically, if it was never yours to begin with, you have absolutely no justification to try putting a lien on it.
