No. Had the person who wrote the will wanted them to benefit they would have been mentioned. However, if the intention is to share the estate, check with the executor whether such distribution would negate the bequest.

If the will directs that the children should share equally in the estate and you are a biological or adopted child of the decedent who was inadvertently omitted from the will then you can claim a share.

You can probably be added as a beneficiary by simply submitting a form to the court along with proof of your relationship (birth certificate or adoption papers.)

The beneficiary died before the policy holder who is now deseased No contingent beneficiary found who is next in line children or estate Estate was given to step children and not biological children A?

The specific terms of the insurance contract need to be followed. If it addresses what happens if the beneficiary is deceased, (most due as part of the template...gotta read it). It normally says it reverts to the owner (which is frequently but certainly not always the same as the insured), which in this case means his estate. His estate is divided according to his will, or the laws of decent of the State he died in. If it isn't addressed at all, that doesn't mean someone else just steps in - it would actually go to the heirs of the now deceased beneficiary.

What if your fathers girlfriend leave the estate to the father but father dies before policy holder does the estate got to children of the father?

If the girlfriend is still alive then she can change her beneficiary. If she died and didn't change her beneficiary then you may have a claim if her estate went to your father. You should speak to an attorney. You refer to a "policy holder" in your question as well as an "estate". If the subject is a life insurance policy and your father was the beneficiary but was deceased when the insured died then be aware that the girlfriend probably named a contingent beneficiary on her policy.
