The only binding form of post mortem "agreement" for distribution would be a will or a trust that addresses the property in question. Another way might be to include the "surviving siblings" as joint tenants in the deed with reservation of a life estate for the primary occupant (soon to become the decedent of your question), and addressing mineral rights in any specific way you want.
As a general rule, the surviving spouse can at least claim his/her community property interest in the property; the balance of the prop interest would be subject to claims by the decedent's heirs at law (children, siblings, parents, etc.). If there are no such heirs at law, then the surviving spouse should be able to claim 100%.
That would depend on the state laws of intestacy if the person has any other blood relatives or legally adopted relatives. The parents would inherit and if there are no surviving parents then siblings.

If there is no will that provides otherwise, and no surviving spouse, the state intestacy laws will provide that a parent's property be divided equally among the decedent's children. You can check the laws in your state at the related question link provided below.
No. In most jurisdictions in the US the siblings would have no standing if the decedent had children as survivors.
That depends on how the three acquired their interest. If they are joint tenants the interest automatically passed to the surviving co-owners. If they owned as tenants in common the interest of the decedent would pass to their heirs at law under the state intestacy laws.
We have no surviving records that might indicate the names of any siblings Patrick may have had.
1 Check with an atty Hopefully the decedent had a valid will 2 I was told by an atty for my fathers estate that the surviving spouse cannot be excluded from an estate however children can .Some parts of a persons estate will automatically go to the surviving spouse. It all depends on what in in their estate. Real Property , cash insurance stocks bonds etc , and each item is dealt with separately by law in NYS -I was also told that no matter what the will says if all heirs agree on a different settlement and petition the court for such agreement , the court will agree to the amended settlement.For example if there is a surviving spouse and 3 children and one child does not want their share of their inheritance for any reason (say they don't need/want the money for example) they can give their share to the other siblings and the surviving spouse to be shared . If the spouse and siblings agree they can all petition the court and the court will allow the declining child's share to be split up
If the deed is in JOINT ownership, the survivor gets it automatically. If there is a will, the property goes to whomever it is willed to. If there is no will, the laws of intestacy apply, giving the spouse a share and surviving children a share.
Little is known about Saint Anne's life so it is unknown whether she had any siblings. There are no surviving records that might answer your question.
No. The estate will be divided according to the Alabama laws of intestate succession. Under Alabama law when there is no surviving spouse the issue of the decedent, if they are all of the same degree of kinship (children) to the decedent they take equally, but if of unequal degree, then those of more remote degree take by representation (children of a predeceased child will take their parent's share and then share it equally amongst themselves). See related link.
There were a total of five children in the family but only three survived. She had two surviving siblings, a sister and a brother - Aga and Lazar
If the decedent left no spouse, issue or parents then the siblings would be next in line. You can read the provisions of the intestacy statute of South Carolina at the link provided below.
