If someone dies intestate and they were unmarried and had no children, their close relatives inherit the estate in the following order of priority: Parents. Brothers and sisters with the same parents as the person who died if any brothers and sisters have already died, their share will pass to their children.
Unfortunately, domestic couples often legally have no automatic right to inheritance if a partner passes away without a Will or any other Estate Plans in place. So for cohabitating couples, if one passes away without a Will (which is called dying Intestate), it can be devastating.
If the common intention is expressed in one instrument, the will may be called a joint will, and if the testators have executed two separate instrument to manifest their common intention, the will may be called a mutual will.
For a Will to be valid in New York, the Will must be in writing, signed by the Testator in the presence of two attesting witnesses who must both attest the Testators signature and, at the request of the Testator, sign their names and affix their residence addresses at the end of the Will within 30 days.
Unmarried partners do not have a lot of rights. If you pass away and are unmarried with no children, your parents will inherit your estate. If your parents are deceased, your estate will go to your siblings. If you are unmarried and share children with your partner, the children will likely be entitled to everything.

If you are not on the deed and your husband passes, the house would need to go through probate. If he has a will, then it would depend on what the provisions on the will are. If he does not have a will, or you elect to take against the will, then you would receive what the statute provides.
