Yes, the spouse without title can filed a deferred marital property claim against the estate of the deceased spouse with title to thier homestead real estate, so talk to an experienced probate lawyer immediately, since the time to file claims is very short. If no estate court case has been started, your lawyer may have to start one. .
Answering this question does not make me your lawyer, and I would normally not do anything else on your case without additional arrangements, although you can ask for clarifications here or also see my past answers to similar questions at http://www.avvo.com/attorneys/53401-wi-jay-nixon-1529181/answers.html?sort=recency.
