No. In most jurisdictions in the US the siblings would have no standing if the decedent had children as survivors.

Your spouse is your next of kin if you are married. If you have no spouse and no children then your parents and siblings are your next of kin. Which is first depends on the law where you live.It depends on state law; however, generally the deceased person's spouse (through marriage) would be next-of-kin.If the deceased person is not married, it would generally be his/her parents.
Who is next of kin of deceased aged 62 when their mother is 92 and has children aged over 21?
The next of kin of a deceased person aged 62 when their mother is 92 would typically be their own children, if they have any. If the deceased has no children or if they have predeceased them, then it would likely be their siblings, nieces or nephews, or other close relatives. Ultimately, the designation of next of kin can vary depending on the specific circumstances and legal regulations in the jurisdiction.
What percentage does each child get if they're getting survivor's benefits from deceased parent if the two children have two different mothers?
The two children should each receive an equal half (50%) of the survivor's benefits, unless the person stated differently in a will or other legal document before their death.
Why should you use 'was' in a question about someone who lived before but who is now deceased rather than using 'is' in the question?
Using "was" when referring to someone who lived before but is now deceased is more appropriate because it reflects the past tense of their life. Using "is" would imply that the person is still alive, which can create confusion or give incorrect information.
Are siblings responsible for deceased sibling's debt?
No, not unless they have signed a joint mortgage (you borrowed money jointly) with the deceased sibling.A dead person's debts are settled out of the person's estate. If the estate does not have enough money to settle the debts then they "die" with the person.
What if a person die without a will had no children has a living mother and siblings who does the property go to?
The exact distribution depends on the state you are in but when a person dies without a will and direct decendents the estate still goes through probate. Generally probate distributes the estate (after taxes) to the wife and children, the parents (of the deceased), the siblings, the nephew and nieces and then to more remote relatives such as cousins, etc. If there is no relatives to distribute to and no will then the estate goes to the state.
If brother has no will when he passes what happens?
When a person dies without a will then his property passes according to the state laws of intestacy. Generally, if your brother had a surviving spouse and/or children they would be first in line to inherit. If none then parents would be next. If none then his property would be shared by his siblings and/or the children of any deceased siblings. You can check your state laws at the link below.

Typically the results will be that the money will be split in half, one part to the spouse, the other half to the children. Consult an attorney in your jurisdiction.
Will your children get your life insurance benefits when you die?
The beneficiaries on your life insurance policy will receive the life insurance benefits. Please make sure your policy is updated with the correct beneficiaries. Many people forget to update their life insurance policy after divorce, or any other major life event and unfortunately the ex-husband or ex-wife receives the benefits. If all the beneficiaries named on the policy are deceased, then the benefit will go to the insured's estate (which may or may not go to the deceased children. The only way to ensure that the benefits are going to the intended person(s), is to update your insurance policy's beneficiaries.
If you have been collecting SSI through your deceased mother's benefits for a year because you thought you were entitled and never did paperwork can you pay it back without going to jail?
Even though the penalties that are noted in SSA regulations are "scary" and they do include the possibility of incarceration in a federal facility, it seldom happens in cases of misunderstanding. The problem is how exactly was the person entitled or receiving the supplemental benefits? Were the benefits belong to the deceased or the deceased's dependant children? Was the SSA notified of the death of the beneficiary? All these factors and possibly others directly affect what if any action the SSA will take in regards to the issue.
Are you responsible for your deceased moms debt?
Only if you are a joint debtor. Surviving family membes are not responsible for the debts of deceased parents, siblings or other relatives. The exception might be if the person signed an agreement with a care facility, hospital, medical clinic, doctor, etc. to be responsible for debt incurred during the deceased person's treatment/confinement.
Do children of a deceased person have any rights to the deceased persons parent's estate if the deceased person preceded the parent in death?
It is certainly possible. Grandchildren can be entitled to a share of their grandparent's estate. Part of it will depend on how the will was written, or the laws for that jurisdiction. Consult a probate attorney for help!
