I am sorry for your loss.

Assuming the deed was properly drafted and recorded and that your wife was of sound mind, nothing at all. (If that is not the case, then you need a lawyer first thing in the morning and have a likely expensive and difficult battle ahead).

With the issue as big as it is, you should at least see a lawyer to review the situation and all documents. As stated, if she was of sound mind when she did it, even if she was talked into it, there is probably nothing to be done.
