Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Dividing the Assets

My mother in-law was married to a man for ten years they divorced and seperated for about a year. They have been back together (and living together) for about six years. He has been very ill for the last six months and she has taken care of him on her own. He just passed away and did not have a will, the house was only in his name even though she has lived there for 16 year. his children from a previous marriage want to just kick her out. Is she intitled to anything or does she have any rights?

Re: Dividing the Assets

If she paid for the mortgage or for repairs she would have a lien for the $. Otherwise, she has no rights to the property.
