For a Surviving Spouse, Most of the Estate Will Not Pass Through Probate. As a married couple, most of the property and assets you have are jointly owned.
When one spouse dies the surviving spouse automatically becomes the sole owner. Your husband would have to prepare and file a new deed that lists you as a joint owner with a right of survivorship in order for you to automatically inherit the home.
(B) If two or more persons hold an interest in the title to real property as survivorship tenants, each survivorship tenant holds an equal share of the title during their joint lives unless otherwise provided in the instrument creating the survivorship tenancy.
Under Ohios Doctrine of Necessaries, the surviving spouse may be responsible for certain debts of their deceased spouse if they were incurred for essential items such as food, clothing, shelter, and medical expenses.
3) The statutory share. This generally allows the surviving spouse to keep one-half (1/2) of the net estate. However, if two (2) two or more of the deceased spouses children (or their lineal descendants) survive the deceased spouse, then the surviving spouse would receive one-third (1/3) of the net estate.

In community property states, surviving spouses have fundamental rights to specific forms of property. Any community property should be completely and automatically distributed to the surviving spouse, whereas separate real property is often split evenly between the spouse and other beneficiaries.
Regardless of the choices detailed directly above, Ohio law dictates that $40,000.00 is set aside from the assets of an estate if the deceased died leaving a surviving spouse and/or minor children. This is commonly known as a spousal allowance or family allowance, and is considered a priority claim.
