The very short answer is that most estates will go to the surviing spouse and children. The portion of the estate may be determined by the length of the marriage (how much did the estate grow during the three years, for example). This is determined by the judge, but having a good lawyer is critical. A wife is protected and yes, she is likely to get half the estate, even if they had been married for one day.
