More details to this question:
My husband divorced his first wife. She is now deceased. Does his family or the biological mother family have rights over me? If he did die without legal adoption papers, will my case stand in court only being married 4 years?

You have no legal rights as step parent, but with mom deceased, a very easy step parent adoption could be done.
