Where did you send the paperwork to? Was it sent to the county Register of Deeds? You should contact them have them search the Grantor/Grantee Index. There may be a charge to do this. It is possible in some counties to do this online.

If the the deed is good and you are added properly as the wife of the owner, the homes will pass to you. Otherwise, you may have to probate the homes. Was the deed sent for recording? Check with the register of deeds office. Or consult an attorney.

Depending on the county involved, it often takes several weeks for the deeds to be processed. You can often check online to see if they have been recorded. I would not worry unless you have not heard anything in over two months.
