If the deceased has living children but no living spouse, the estate is divided equally between the children. If the spouse and children are alive, the spouse gets half of the estate and the other half is divided equally among the children. If neither the spouse or children are alive, but the deceased's parents are alive, the estate goes to the parents. Testate succession [will determines how estate will be divided]: testator [person making the will] decides how to divide the estate and to whom different parts of the estate will be given. The testator can choose to give all or part of the estate to their spouse, children, or other family members. The testator can make any kind of property distribution they desire. Usually an executor is appointed, and their job is to ensure that the testator's wishes are carried out. If no executor is appointed, the state will appoint an executor.
