Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Maryland

More information needs to be provided before your question can be answered. To start, what assets did your husband own in his name alone that also did not name a beneficiary? An assets that was co-owned with another person does not go into his estate. Any asset that he owned in his name alone, BUT that names a beneficiary also does not go into his estate.

Concerning the house whose names are on the deed. If you owned same with your husband as evidenced by the deed, his children from a prior marriage will not be able to make you sell it. Even if he owned it alone, depending on other estate assets you may be able top preserve the house.

It depends on how you owned the house. If you bought it together after marriage, and you both own it according to the deed, then it is yours.
