The will is set up as the decedent wished, and so only the named beneficiary is entitled. The minor child will need money to live on, and hopefully the guardian will use the money judiciously to benefit the child. There are some laws that might allow another to inherit some of the estate. If there are other minor children, the court may split the estate to insure that dependants are not left destitute and have to be supported by the state. If there are children born after the will was made, the court will adjust accordingly.

In Indiana if a husband dies without a will the surviving spouse is not on the deed of the house but the daughter is on the deed with Dad and there is no will who gets ownership of the house?

That would depend upon the laws of intestacy and survivorship in Indiana, and the exact words used in the deed. Without looking up your particular state: It may well be that the surviving joint tenant (the daughter) obtains exclusive ownership of the house, as the estate has no ownership of the house to distribute in probate of the intestate. If the daughter and father were tenants "in common", and not jointly, then the father's ownership passes to the statutory heirs by intestacy (typically half to the surviving spouse and half to be divided by all children or their surviving heirs, etc).
