You are still his wife legally. So the executor by law is required to notify you with a copy of the will as part of the probate process. If he does not leave a will, the administrator will have to notify you as well. If they fail to do that, you will be able to sue them personally later. Of course, you can also petition the surrogate court to be the administrator as a start, in case he does not leave a will. That being said, you need to consult a local estate lawyer to find out your rights with respect to your hu*****and's estate. Most of the states, if not all, prohibit once spouse from totally dis-inheriting the other one by will or any inter-vivos transfer.
