According to the Family Law Act dealing with property, the only things they you are entitled to are things that you jointly owned. So if your name is on the car loan, or the house deed then you are entitled to it. But if your name is not on this information you are not entitled to anything unless specified in a will and the estate will go to the surviving children.

Oh I live in Colorado to, sorry I overlooked that! Colorado is one of the few states where you inherit all the rights of your husband as if you were formally married. It's harder to prove because their is no set time, but if you have declared that you are married to third parties, there is not even a time limit. You will inherit the estate. Most states have a time limit of 10 years.
