No. If the dead person left a will the estate will be distributed according to the will. If the person never made a will then the way the estate is distributed depends on the laws of the country in which you live.
This said, under most legal systems, a wife will have some claim on the estate (along with any surviving children of the diseased).

Not enough information is given. To find the value of the estate, you need to know either the daughter's share or the fractional part of the estate received by the son. Neither item of information is given.

In most states, a divorce automatically removes the spouse from the will. In that case the current wife will inherit most of the estate. You should consult a probate attorney in your state for the details and what must be done.
wife dies, does husband inherit everything or does he share with their children
When someone dies, any debts they leave are paid out of their 'estate' (the money and property they leave behind). You're only responsible for their debts if you had a joint loan or agreement or provided a loan guarantee - you aren't automatically responsible for a husband's, wife's or civil partner's debts.
It will depend on what the will says. If there is no will, yes, they can normally expect to receive half the estate.
Dower is the surviving wife right to a portion of the husband's estate when he dies. It is currently called statutory share.
No, the new wife has no interest in this property. When one of the two tenants who hold title to a parcel of real estate as Joint Tenants With Right Of Survivorship dies, the surviving tenant instantly gains sole title to the real estate by operation of law.
Your wife's will has nothing to do with your death - if you don't have a will, you will be subject to the intestacy laws of your state, which will determine who gets what. Now, if you die without a will, your wife will get the lion's share of your estate, so that when she dies, what was yours that became hers becomes part of her estate. If you're at all concerned about what is going to go to your children, call an estate attorney and draft a will.
I think the estate will be passed onto his daughter since the real estate entitled joint tenancy with his daughter. The surviving wife will, however, have a very strong case if the father dies intestate (without a will). Get Dad down to a good property lawyer and be prepared to spend $1000 or so. Well worth it, daughter.
No. A life estate is extinguished when he life tenant dies.
This depends on the particular state that you live in. This is called the law of intestate succession, and a person that dies without a will is said to have died intestate. It is strictly a matter of state law. However, in virtually all of the states, if the spouse dies without a will, the wife is entitled to a significant portion of the estate, and the rest is then distributed to the children or the siblings, as the case may be.
It goes into his estate. That will then be handled per the jurisdiction's intestacy law. Siblings and parents are next in line.
