To the extent that community earnings or time were spent to enhance the value of the house, there is a community element. This is what the fights in divorces are about when counsel argue what is community and what is separate. Did the husbands money go to pay taxes, mortgage or improvements? Were joint earnings used for theiis purpose. DId they build the addition with joint funds? Seek an estate administration attorney. This is factually based, and without more factual development it is not practical to porvide you a helpful answer.
