In this specific case, yes, but it can vary. If it can be proven that the daughter had lived only seconds longer than the mother the estate would go to daughter's and thence to her heirs. In this case, two weeks, it would become part of the daughter's estate. However this can have a devastating effect on the estate, subjecting it to inheritance taxes twice, or Generation Skipping Tax. The Uniform Simultaneous Death Act provides that if two individuals have died within 120 hours, each is considered to have pre-deceased the other. About half the states have enacted this either explicitly or by adopting the Uniform Probate Code. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simultaneous_death A will can specify a longer time for simultaneous death to be considered.
