First of all, titled property (Car, house, CDs) will go to the specified survivor. This is called non-probate property. It passes automatically. Same with property contained in a trust, which is self-executing.
As for other property which does not pass automatically upon death (i.e., probate property), it depends on the state. In Ill., if there is no will, it would be split bet spouse and kids. There are other contingency rpovisions depending on who survives.
A will or trust, or specifying in the title is the best way to identify who receives an estate.

Depends on the legal residence of the deceased, and on his will. Different states and countries have different inheritance laws if there's no will--sometimes the wife gets all, sometimes it's split between wife and children or in other ways. One thing you can probably count on... the government will get it's share!

You say husband then you must of been married to him so then my answer would be you but then again it's best to consult a lawyer for the best advise..

if there is a will then it will go to stated person if his name is on it if both you may have a chance however it could go to what is called an estate then the state could come in and auction it if there is mortgage then it could be foreclosed and you may be offered to take over these are just possibilities.
