Depends. If your husband did not have a will disposing of his interest in the house, the children may have an interest in the house. The size of this interest depends upon whether the house is community or separate property. Your question does not provide enough information to determine whether this is community or separate property.
You need to hire an attorney to make this determination for you and to advise you what your options are.
