When someone dies without a Will, they are said to have died "intestate". Accordingly, the intestacy laws of the state in which the deceased was domiciled when they died will control. Typically, in such a case the surviving spouse, if any, and the child(ren) of the deceased share in the estate. The exact split is governed by state statute.
