Generally, inherited property is separate property in a community property state.
They are entitled to half of your 401k assets.
The short answer is yes under the commonlaw. Make no mistake the law is quite distinct from morality. Unfortunately I do not have the time to go into detail now but if you need further clarification I would be glad to provide you with a more detailed answer.

Probably Spouse first, then his Estate then the children.
That is the normal distribution. If there are others on the deed that may affect things. And a spouse normally has a right to the property for at least a life estate.
Yes. If you are married and your spouse has bad credit, you inherit that bad credit and depending on the state, you can inherit half the debt if you divorce. * No, debts incurred before marriage do not affect a new spouse's credit report even in CP states. Problems could arise however, if the couple apply for a joint line of credit such as a mortgage.
No, an heir is not a spouse. An heir is a person who is entitled to inherit a deceased person's assets or property according to the laws of inheritance. A spouse may be an heir if they are named in the deceased person's will or if they are entitled to inherit under intestacy laws.
That type of situation is regulated by the laws of intestacy. Generally, when a person with no spouse or children dies, their parents, then siblings are their heirs at law. A god child would not inherit unless they were a blood relative who is entitled to inherit under state laws.

If there is no living spouse, the children inherit, after them the siblings. If there is no living spouse, children or siblings, parents inherit, after them first cousins, then second cousins, etc.
Most assets acquired during a marriage in California are considered shared property between you and your spouse, but inheritance is an exception. If you receive inheritance while you are married, your spouse does not have any right to that money as long as you keep it separate from your spouse and your shared property.
It depends on the court's ruling.
You, and his descendants, should inherit his estate. His estate includes the inheritance from his parents. There should be no argument about it. Contact a knowledgable probate attorney for assistance.
It will depend partially on the will. If the new spouse is not mentioned, she may be able to elect to take against the will. If there is no law, it will probably be split in half, half going to the spouse and half going to the children. Consult an attorney to protect your rights.
The spouse normally takes priority on property. If there is a will it will take precedence.
Sounds right to me. The time of the passing has nothing to do with who gets the property, it's in the will. If there is no will than your spouse is entitled to it.
In Texas, when a spouse dies, the surviving spouse is typically entitled to the house if it was community property or if it was left to them in the deceased spouse's will.
I believe a spouse if entitled to 1/3 of the estate....prevents them from becoming a charge of the state.
A person cannot disinherit their spouse in North Carolina. Please see the discussion at the "Surviving Spouse" link below, especially the section entitled "Right to dissent from the will". There is a somewhat complicated process followed in North Carolina.
