Yes. They can be specifically devised in the will or they can be distributed by the residuary clause which is a clause at the end of the will that serves as a catch-all. It provides for the distribution of any property that's not specifically devise elsewhere in the will. For example, the residuary clause could state, "The rest and residuary of my estate shall be shared equally amongst all my children or the issue of any child who predeceases me".
If there is no residuary clause in the will and there is property that's not specifically devised that property will be distributed according to state law as intestate property. You can check the intestacy laws of your state at the related question link below.
