Generally, in an intestate estate, a step-child is a legal heir only if she was legally adopted by the decedent. You should check your state laws.

What is my step daughter's husband to me?

If you have adopted your step daughter, thus making her your daughter, her husband is your son-in-law. If you have not adopted your step daughter, then her husband is not related to you. Some people find it convenient to treat him as a son-in-law, especially if the step daughter became part of your family when she was a child.
