My brother and his wife were spouses for 32 years and owned a house in Melbourne. My brother passed away in 1995 and is survived by his wife. They do not have any children or surviving parents. Both spouses have siblings.

My deceased brother hasn’t left a will, and at this point, both spouses are still registered as proprietors of the house.

Who is eligible to inherit the house after my brother’s wife death, presumed no will is found and both spouses are still registered proprietors?

In such case, do I as a brother have any right of inheritance over the house?
