The wife and kids.
No. Distribution of the deceased person's belongings are based on a written will. If no will is found, depending in the state of residence, the person's belongings are handled in different ways. Generally, the surviving spouse inherits all. If there is no surviving spouse, "issue" (the deceased's children) are next in line. How they divide items amongst themselves is often the source of long-standing bitterness. This shows how important it is to make a will.
In the state of Missouri, the wife automatically inherits property of her deceased husband. When either spouse dies, the surviving spouse has an undivided interest in the whole property, and the right to sole ownership.
Normally there is a will, stating who will inherit the house. Whoever inherits the house will be responsible for it. If there is no will, the courts will decide.
As with nearly anything owned by the estate of a deceased person, the answer will depend upon whether there was a valid will, or upon the laws of intestacy where the property is located. For example, if there is no will, and no surviving parents, the children (or their heirs) might inherit all of the property in equal shares, if that is what the state laws of intestacy say.
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.

What happens if you die without a Will? How will your property in Massachusetts pass to your loved ones? It is often said that if you don't have an estate plan, the State has one for you. Here it is:1) If a person dies with a spouse, and with kindred (relatives) surviving them, (but no children), the spouse is entitled to the first $200,000 and half of the remaining real and personal property. If the personal property is not sufficient to provide the surviving spouse with $200,000, real estate owned by the deceased can be sold or mortgaged to provide for the surviving spouse.If the deceased leaves issue (children, and children, grandchildren, etc. of deceased children), the surviving spouse shall take one half of all real and personal property.If the deceased leaves no issue or kindred, the surviving spouse inherits all of the real and personal property.2) After the surviving spouse's share is distributed, or if there is no surviving spouse, the remaining property is distributed in equal shares to the decedent's issue, by right of representation. If all issue are of the same degree of kindred (i.e., all are grandchildren, or all are greatgrandchildren) they shall share equally.If the decedent leaves no issue, than to his or her mother and father, or the survivor of them.If the decedent leaves no issue and no parents, than the property goes to his or her brothers and sisters, of the issue of any deceased brothers and sisters.If the decedent dies with no issue, parents or siblings then the property is distributed to then to his next of kin in equal degree; but if there are two or more collateral kindred in equal degree claiming through different ancestors, those claiming through the nearest ancestor shall be preferred to those claiming through an ancestor more remote.3) If someone dies with no spouse or kindred, their property shall escheat to the Commonweatlh.Those without a Will may think that their spouse will inherit all of their property upon their death, but as you can see, it is possible that a spouse would only inherit half of the property held in the decedent's name alone, while also providing for distributions to rather distant relatives. Is this how you would want your Will to read?
The intestacy laws of the appropriate jurisdiction will specify who inherits property.
