    Not unless he had some kind of a will. Everything reverts to her so long as the divorce wasn't final yet.

    Merged, please do not ask the same question over,

    You may add more info by answering your own question

    But you have no rights what so ever if he was still married and there was no formal court separation or divorce.

    If not, they are still married and she has all legal rights to funeral and to inherit everything

    She is the surviving spouse and it is no different that if they were living together and happily married.

    You have no rights whatsoever when it comes to his estate. If he has a valid Will his wife is still entitled to a certain percentage under the law (differs in every State), even if he "writes her out."
