What else can I help you with?
Do you have to have a last will?
No. If you die intestate (without a Will) every jurisdiction has laws that govern the distribution of a decent's property after their death. You can make your own decisions by making a Will. If you don't, the government will distribute your property among your heirs at law according to the laws of intestacy.
What if you have a General Warranty Deed with your brother and he dies unmarried does the property become yours?
A general warranty deed guarantees that the grantor is conveying clear title to the property. It does not govern who gets the property when one co-grantee dies. The passing of the interest of a co-owner upon death is addressed by the tenancy recited in the deed. If no tenancy was recited you both acquired the property as tenants in common and if one dies that interest would pass according to their will or if intestate, as intestate property. If you acquired as joint tenants with the right of survivorship then your brother's interest would automatically pass to you and you would become the sole owner of the property. See the related question below for state-by-state intestate property laws.
How can you claim a surviving child get property inheritance if there was no will?

What happens when a married person dies and leaves no will?
Generally, when a married person dies intestate (without a will) any interest in property held with the spouse as joint tenants with the right of survivorship, or tenants by the entirety, automatically passes to the spouse. Any individually owned property passes according to the laws of intestacy. Those general rules govern non-community property. Property is distributed differently in community property states. See the related question below for a link to state by state intestacy laws.
If one is married in one state but dies in another which state dictates property division of intestate property?
Generally, the laws of intestacy in the state where the property is located govern the distribution. For example, suppose a couple is married and has a residence in a community property state and a summer home in Massachusetts. Suppose one died in Florida, intestate (without a will). The property in Massachusetts would pass according to the laws of intestacy of Massachusetts. If the decedent had a will that was valid in the state where it was executed, the property in Massachusetts would pass according to the provisions in the will but the will, or exemplified copies of a foreign probate, would need to be submitted for probate in Massachusetts. Probate laws vary in different states. You must always consult with an attorney who is familiar with the law in both states to determine the legal advice particular to your situation.

Can a spouse contest the will?
That depends on the reason for the objection. A spouse may contest the will for objections regarding the validity of the will. When a spouse is disinherited or would receive a larger portion under the laws that govern intestate estates, that spouse can usually file a claim with the judge for an intestate share depending on the laws in your jurisdiction.
