Not enough information is given to answer your questions. Who signed the land contract? Only her? Who owned the property? Only her? If the answer to both questions is "only her," then some form of probate will be needed to help straighten things out. Was there a Will or Trust? If not, the property would pass to the next of kin. That might be the husband alone. It might be the husband and children of the decedent. It might be the husband and parents of the decedent. Since there are so many unknowns here, your best bet would be to review the entire situation with a lawyer to determine where you stand and how best to proceed.
