That depends on state laws of intestacy and those laws vary from state to state. In some states the surviving spouse takes it all. In some states the spouse and children share. In some states the spouse takes it all unless there are children of the decedent who are not her/his children.

That depends on whether there is a will, the laws of intestacy in your jurisdiction and whether the surviving spouse is also the parent of the children. See related question link.

In Texas, if a person dies without a will, their property will be distributed according to intestacy laws. This typically means that the property will pass to the surviving spouse and children in varying shares depending on the family situation. If the deceased had no spouse but had children, then the property would likely pass to the surviving children.

What are a father's parental rights in Louisiana?

The laws of intestacy in Louisiana are unique. If you die without a will in Louisiana the laws of intestacy will distribute your property to your spouse and children. The division of the property depends on whether the property is separate property or community property. Community property is property that was acquired by a married couple during their marriage. Separate property is property that was inherited, owned before marriage, or gifts. Generally, the spouse receives no separate property. It passes to your children or grandchildren. The surviving spouse receives none of the decedent's share of the community property if the couple has children. Your community property will go first to your children. If you do not have children, your spouse will receive your community property. This comment addresses spouse and children only. For the full picture of intestacy in Louisiana an internet search will provide numerous articles and sites that discuss the details.

Do children have rights in or to community property if father dies but mother is living?

You need to check your particular state laws. In a community property state each spouse owns a one-half share of the marital property. In some states a spouse can dispose of their interest by their will to someone other than their surviving spouse.Upon the death of one spouse state laws vary on intestate (without a will) inheritance. In some, the surviving spouse inherits their deceased spouse's share if there are children of the marriage. In some the surviving spouse receives only a half of that share if there are children by a former marriage. In Louisiana the share of a deceased spouse in community property passes to their estate if they had children but the surviving spouse can use the property until death or remarriage. If the deceased had no children the community property passes to the surviving spouse.People who own property in a community property state should consult with an attorney about estate planning. If you are a surviving child then you should consult with an attorney who specializes in probate law.
