If you have been married for 28 years and your spouse dies with no will, do any children have a right to any marital property or does the spouse inherit by default?

the children inherit along with the wife, after the wife gets her "elective share." I suggest hire a lawyer to have you appointed as an administrator of his estate.

That depends on the nature and extent of the property and is very fact specific. You should speak to a local probate/estate planning attorney.
