In some of the United States ,
the estate which the wife takes in the lands of her deceased husband ,
varies essentially from the right of dower at common law .
In some of the states ,
she takes one -
third of the profits ,
or in case of there being no children ,
one half .
In others she takes the same right in fee ,
when there are no lineal descendants ;
and in one she takes two -
thirds in fee ,
when there are no lineal ascendants or descendants ,
or brother or sister of the whole or half blood .
