If there is no will, most states distribute the assets that way. You would have to look at the specific probate laws for the state in question. And if there is a will the estate will be distributed according to the wishes of the decedent. If the children from a previous marriage are minors, the court may over ride the will to prevent them from becoming wards of the state.
