Before he died the house appear under him and his new wife name but after he died the house appear under the wife and son name without mentioning the name of his two children from his first marriage. that he left in Chile. What are their rights under the Florida law?
A: It is unclear what you mean by "after he died the house appear under the wife and son name". An attorney should look at the deed to see whether any interest in the house belongs to his estate. Assuming he didn't have a will, any such interest would be divided; half of that interest would go to his widow, and the other half would be divided among his three descendants.
