The query is too theoretical to be a real-time issue!

Muslim personal law allows maximum four wives to a Muslim man. Therefore, if the widow converts to Muslim faith he can marry her as well, with the consent of his first wife and he has enough wealth to maintain her as well with equanimity among both the wives.
The property of the widow’s husband is already devolved on to his legal heirs at the moment he died. Hence the two children are property owners of his intestate property already. Present marriage does not alter the share of the property in any way.
