This antiquated form of inheritance has been done away with in virtually every country in the world.
In a way, no one dies without a will (commonly called "intestate"). Each State has actually made one for you!
Each State has something called the "laws of descent" that it uses to determine who gets what, in what order or percent. I've never seen one that didn't include people of a class (like all natural children, parents, siblings, granchildren, etc., equally. No one of a class to get more than another).
They change a bit State by State, so you should find the one for the State that the person died in.
It is in the interest of the state to see that all descendants inherit, to avoid having a very wealthy individual and a bunch of siblings with no means of support relying on the state.

If by indigent you mean completely without assets, then no, an estate is not necessary. An estate is necessary if a decedent has assets that are to be transferred to another person, whether by will or intestacy. In fact, since a decedent's "estate" consist of his/her assets nd if there are no assets, there is no "estate."

Is this a trick question? If the child is legally an adult (and therefore 'emancipated') then there is no "custodial" parent.
