She can do this in her Will. A Will doesn't take effect until death, so it won't affect any benefits she's receiving.

If the wife doesn't apply for administrator after the death of her spouse, can one of their children apply?

Answered by attorney Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Estate Planning lawyer at Donaldson Stewart, P.C.
If a surviving spouse does not want to exercise the priority of being the personal representative of the estate, the next priority would be the deceased person's children. In order for only one of those children to serve, they probably need to have the surviving spouse and the other siblings "waive" their own right to be appointed. I recommend you consult with an attorney to discuss this matter in greater detail.
