If a person dies without a will, their property is distributed according to the laws of intestacy in their jurisdiction. Typically, this means that the deceased's assets will be allocated to their closest relatives, such as spouses, children, or parents, in a predetermined order. If no relatives can be identified, the property may eventually escheat to the state. Each state or country may have different laws governing this process, so the specifics can vary.
