Estate Planning lawyer at The Law Office of Nathan Wagner
No, the adopted child will not inherit from the biological parent, unless the biological parent provides for them in their will.

Are all beneficiaries of bank accounts payable on death, or must it be explicitly stated?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
With respect to bank accounts, I've never seen contingent beneficiaries, although I suppose this is possible. The term is "payable on death" or, for securities, "transfer on death." It would be unnecessary to create a beneficiary for any condition other than the death of the account owner, since the account owner can always withdraw money and make gifts, if that's the intent.

If our house is solely in my husband's name, in the event of his death, will the house automatically go to me, his wife?

No. You would need to go through probate to get the title in your name. That is not a good way to go. You and your husband need to get your estate planning taken care of to avoid that expensive result.
