It will depend on the specific jurisdiction. If the child was a minor, yes, the parents get the property. If they were an adult, their spouse and children would get it. And the will trumps any intestacy laws.

Yes, children can own personal possessions. When it comes to property, estates, or investments, it is usually held in trust until the child is of legal age (usually between 18 to 21). The trust is usually administered by an accountant or another living adult relative who would take care of any ongoing changes to the property (taxes, deposits, withdrawals, ect...)
