State pension increase or inheritance for widows

Options
I am in receipt of a full state retirement pension since Nov 2017. My wife has been receiving a very small state retirement pension since 2010. My understanding is that she will automatically have her state pension increased to match my pension if i die before her.  My wife will also receive a proportion of my final salary and inherit substantial savings and investments. Will this affect her state pension entitlement?
