Generally, the surviving spouse and the minor children would be the legal heirs-at-law. If the father was divorced, his children are his heirs-at-law. You can check the state laws of intestacy for your state at the related question link below.

If my father died without a will and he have lawful children. And iligimate children who get his estate
I am the only child of my father who is deceased. His mother passed away in California. She has one daughter and one step-son living. What are my rights to her estate if she had no will?
I am assuming that your grandmother does not have a spouse who is still living. In California, if a resident dies without a will or trust, then the laws of intestate succession are used to determine who will inherit the estate. If your grandmother was not married, then the estate would be divided in equal shares (if they are in the same generation) to her children. If there are no children or grandchildren living, then the estate would go to her parents. If her parents are no longer living, then the estate is distributed to the "issue of the parents." (Issue is the legal term for children, grandchildren, etc.) I am not an attorney but typically, in your situation, you would inherit one third of the estate. (Your father's portion.)

Laws vary. Generally, the surviving spouse and the children inherit in an intestate (without a Will) estate. If you were not married to the father then his children would inherit his estate.

If your father died in 1979 without a will and your mother is still alive and you are the only child who gets what?
Your state laws will have determined the "intestate succession" of your father's estate, absent a will, meaning the law divided the property. Some states give the entire estate to the surviving spouse; others divide it with the children, meaning the minor children may have received half the father's estate "in trust". Look up your state "intestate succession" and visit the courthouse where the father's estate was probated in 1979 to see how it was distributed. If it wasn't properly probated, you will need an attorney to figure out what rights you may have.
You are the sole heir in your parents will Your father has children from a previous marriage that have been intentionally excluded Should the will be changed to avoid the estate being sued?
Generally, adult children can be disinherited, however, the will must be drafted to conform to state law. You should consult with an attorney who specializes in probate law who can determine if your father needs to make any changes in his will. Your father has the right to choose who will inherit his estate as long as the will conforms to state laws.
