That depends upon how the person owned the home, whether jointly or alone. I'm assuming the person has sole ownership. When there is no will, a decedent's property passes to his heirs according to the laws of intestate succession. Each state has such laws and they may be different from state to state in small ways, so it's vital to check the laws of your state. The laws of intestate succession will specify who receives the property and in what shares. These shares will differ depending on who survived the decedent. I won't go into those differences here because they are beyond the scope of the question.
