On the death of husband, you will remain legally wedded wife and will inherit his property like a widow.

unless divorce takes place you are entitled to inherit his property as his wife.

in case the husband dies before the settlement or the first motion, the wife would be considered a widow and not divorcee. regarding alimony, then instead of alimony, she can claim the assets and all the properties of husband.
