Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Connecticut

Life's use of house

My father just died and left his widow(2nd wife) life use of his house with the estate left to me and my two sisters. Under Connecticut law, what exactly does this entitle her to? She is moving to Florida and has left the house empty of all contents.
