The legal term for without a will is "intestate". If you owned real estate or other "probate" assets at the time of your death an Admnistrator would need to be appointed by the probate court and your property would be distributed according to your state or country laws of intestacy, after your debts have been paid. See the related question link to check the laws of intestacy in your state.
