Re: husband rights upon wife death
You have a statutory right to do what is known as "elect against the will" meaning that you are entitled to the first $50,000 of the estate plus more depending on the number of children etc. See a local lawyer to determine the exact amount. See my website, www.NolanElderLaw.com.
