That depends on the State the will is probated in. For instance, in New Jersey, an adult child has no rights to a parents estate if he was not mentioned in the will. The parent has the right to give his possessions to a charity if he wishes to do so.

What rights do you have in your husband's estate as an estranged wife?
The rights you have in your estranged husband's estate may vary depending on the laws of the jurisdiction and any legal agreements in place. In general, as an estranged spouse, you may still have a legal claim to a portion of your husband's estate, such as through inheritance laws or a divorce settlement, unless those rights have been legally waived or terminated. It's advisable to consult with a legal professional to understand your specific rights in this situation.

I am the only child of my father who is deceased. His mother passed away in California. She has one daughter and one step-son living. What are my rights to her estate if she had no will?
I am assuming that your grandmother does not have a spouse who is still living. In California, if a resident dies without a will or trust, then the laws of intestate succession are used to determine who will inherit the estate. If your grandmother was not married, then the estate would be divided in equal shares (if they are in the same generation) to her children. If there are no children or grandchildren living, then the estate would go to her parents. If her parents are no longer living, then the estate is distributed to the "issue of the parents." (Issue is the legal term for children, grandchildren, etc.) I am not an attorney but typically, in your situation, you would inherit one third of the estate. (Your father's portion.)
Can estranged husband claim on intestate if his name is still on house deeds?
