Allowance in Lieu of Exempt Property or Homestead If the estate does not include a homestead, the surviving spouse can request an allowance from the estate of up to $45,000.
Widows regained the rights of unmarried women during the period of their widowhood. A widow could make a will, buy or sell property, act as a guardian, sue or be sued, or be an executrix or administratrix. If the widow owned personal property, she could bequeath it in a will.
