Officially they are wards of the state until a probate process is commenced. The court can appoint a temporary guardian who will have legal control over the children until a permanent guardianship is established or the children are legally adopted. It is important for parents of minor children to have a will and designate a desired guardian for their children after discussing it with the named guardian. The court will usually appoint that person unless there is a compelling objection made at the hearing for appointment. If no guardian is named in a will any interested adult can petition the court.

Do you have any parents?

Since it takes both a man and a woman (a mother and a father) to conceive and have a baby, everyone is born of two parents. However, not everyone has parents, since parents do die. Children who have had both parents die are "orphans". But if they later become adopted, then they have adoptive parents.

Good question. The likelihood is that Social Services will get involved and decide which set of parents is most suitable for them. If both sets are suitable then it may go to court for a decision.


Who gets the estate if both parents die and there is no will?

The children share equally in the estate. If there are any children who predeceased the last parent to die and if those children left children of their own, then those grandchildren would inherit the share that their parent would have inherited and he/she not predeceased.


What happens with the house when parents die with a will and 3 children are involved and one of them already owns the house?

If the parents don't own the house, they cannot give it away in their will. Since one child owns the house, then it was not for the parents to give away.
