Re: Deceased husband left property to children
Everything depends on the will. As an heir she has an absolute right to see the will. Even if the will left her a life estate in the property she needs to talk to an attorney to determine if she would be better off filing for a year's support.
Without seeing the will and knowing how the property was owned I can not give a definite answer. You need to have an attorney knowledgable in wills and probate review the situtation.
