No. If you're Married Filing Jointly, then you're allowed one personal exemption for you and one exemption for your husband. You can't claim your spouse as a dependent. Even if you're working and your spouse isn't, you can't claim your spouse as a dependent because you're allowed to claim two personal exemptions total for the two of you as a married couple filing jointly.
It depends on the specific terms of the property settlement and any subsequent agreements or court orders. Generally, if the settlement specified that the divorced spouse relinquishes any claim to the ex-husband's property after his death, they would not be able to claim it. However, if the settlement did not address this issue or if there were changes made to the agreement afterwards, it is possible that the divorced spouse could still claim the property.
The rights you have in your estranged husband's estate may vary depending on the laws of the jurisdiction and any legal agreements in place. In general, as an estranged spouse, you may still have a legal claim to a portion of your husband's estate, such as through inheritance laws or a divorce settlement, unless those rights have been legally waived or terminated. It's advisable to consult with a legal professional to understand your specific rights in this situation.

As a general rule, the surviving spouse can at least claim his/her community property interest in the property; the balance of the prop interest would be subject to claims by the decedent's heirs at law (children, siblings, parents, etc.). If there are no such heirs at law, then the surviving spouse should be able to claim 100%.
