None. But do check with someone who really knows the law.

There is no strict rule for it, but the avioehto can be partly or completely ignored if it considered to lead to "unjust" result. Most likely to apply with case of stay-at-home mother with kids who no here own right would be close to broke. You need lawyer familiar with the subject to get could estimate of the relevant situation.

In absence of children what proportion does the surviving spouse gets of the deceased properties?

If there is no will, (s)he will inherit all. After both a dead, any heirs (parents, siblings and their children) will inherit them both (one part to the other family, one to the other, except if there are no valid heirs on the other branch). The size of the two parts (assuming avioehto) corresponds to the relative wealth of the two spouses.

If there is a will benefiting somebody else, the widow still has certain (control, not ownership) rights regarding common home.
