Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

My wife bought a house 10 months before we were married. She put her kids (adults) to get the house if she died. We have been married for 15 months now and she was just diagnosed with cancer. The house is still in her last married name because her last husband had to sign papers because she was still married when she bought the house. In her divorce she kept the house. Now that she is remarried to me, does my name have to be on the mortage inorder for me to have any rights to the house? Or, does the fact that we are married automaticly give me rights? Do her kids get the house if she dies from cancer or do I get it since we are married.

You have rights as a spouse if it is Homestead Property. You also have estate rights as a spouse.
