What are the legal rights for estate for the caregiver?

I don't have enough facts here. If all heirs agree to give you the home, and there's no mortgage, then yes, they can give you the home.

Is it best to transfer the house into that person's name or change the will?

For starters, the GOOD NEWS: Unless the value of your aunt's estate is MORE THAN $5 million, there will be NO ESTATE TAX. BUT, if you have an IRS issue there are ways your aunt can revise her Will and indirectly give you the house and funds, which the IRS would not be able to reach. For your aunt to transfer the house into your sister's name to evade the IRS will not work, but there are legal ways to accomplish what you want. That is more involved and beyond what I can write about here. When an older person changes a Will or accounts, you need to be very careful that it is done legally. It sounds to me like your aunt could use a little estate plan help revise her Will or maybe change her account designations to benefit you or perhaps others. If she has any retirement accounts, they need to be checked so the IRS doesn't begin to tax them right after her death again, there are legal steps she can take to help preserve those accounts and pass them on at lower tax so you know, tax on a retirement account is NOT part of the estate tax.

How much of the property is entitled to me now that my husband is dead?

How was title held? Community property? Joint tenants? Either of those and it goes to you. Tenants in common? Probably his half is separate property, in which case it would go one-third to you and 2 thirds equally to his children.
