More details to this question:
My brother’s old will leaves his house to his son who committed suicide 2 years ago. Will his widow inherit the house, or does it go to the estate? I (his sister) am the only living relative. My brother is gravely ill now.

Hello, I'm sorry for your situation. Usually, the inheritance travels to a remaining sibling before the spouse of a specific bequest to a person who pre-decesases the last person to die. However, it would be best if you spoke to an estate attorney near you to make a final determination with you.
