When a parent dies without a will can the adult children take possession of the deceased parent's property and assets in Oklahoma?
In order for the title to the property to pass to the heirs legally, at least one parent's estate (the last to die) must be probated. If there was no will then a member of the family must petition the court to be appointed the administrator. You should consult with an attorney who specializes in probate who can review the situation, determine how your parent's held title to their property and advise you on what legal proceedings must be undertaken.
Can a beneficiary be under age 18?
First, there is no minimum age for a person to be a beneficiary; however you must understand there is a distinction between ownership and possession of property. There is no minimum age for a person to own property; however the beneficiary must be an adult to be able to possess it. If a will gives property to two children, one under 18, the other over 18, they both have ownership, but only the adult is entitled to ownership at that time. If the beneficiary is under 18, the property he or she gets must be turned over to a duly appointed guardian or parent according to the laws of that state for safekeeping. When the minor becomes andult, the guardian/parent must turn over possession.

In the United States a minor child is entitled to a portion of a deceased parent's estate.

When an estranged parent dies does the grown adult child get anything?
Whether a grown child is estranged from his or her parent does not affect that child's right to inherit from the parent. The grown adult child's right to inherit ("get anything") depends on three things. First, does the adult have a will and is the adult child named in the parent's will? If so, the adult child will inherit, even if he or she is estranged from the parent. Second, if there is no will, then the laws of intestacy determine who gets the property of the dead parent. These laws vary from state to state and are determined by the state of residency of the dead parent. Often, assets of a dead parent are split between a surviving spouce and children under such laws. Lastly, the adult child could inherit ("get something") if he or she is named as a beneficiary on a life insurance policy, brokerage account, bank account or if he or she is a joint tenant or tenant in common on a piece of property or other asset. These assets pass outside of the dead person's estate and that person's will.
Are adult children responsible for their deceased parent's unpaid nursing home bills?
No. Not unless they agreed in writing to be responsible for those bills. A parent's estate is responsible for paying their debts whether those debts are for a nursing home, credit cards or utility bills. Their property cannot be distributed until the debts are paid. If there are not enough assets in the estate the creditors are out of luck. The exception is mortgages. If the mortgage isn't paid the bank will take possession of the property by foreclosure.
