If I'm married without a pre-nup, and my wife owns a house held in her name, and if she dies, would house ownership go to me?

In the absence of a will, the home, together with the rest of the property in your wife's probate estate, will pass according to the laws of intestacy.

Pre-nup is irrelevant until it is engaged during a divorce process. If and when she dies, the will should shed light about this.
