An incompetent parent is one who emotionally, physically or psychologically abuses the child. An incompetent parent may not be able to care for their own needs and be financially struggling to accommodate for the child's basic needs such as health, safety and nutrition.

When surviving parent is declared incompetent and there is no will left by deceased parent does it go to state or to children?

The legal phrase for this situation is dying "intestate," and the laws of that particular state will have to be followed. Whether the surviving spouse is "incompetent" or not, is probably immaterial. If they were still legally married, or this is a 'community property' state, or they owned property and assets as a married couple (known by a variety of legal descriptions in various states) then the surviving spouse would probably inherit before the children did. If LEGALLY declared incompetent the probate court would probably appoint a 'trustee' to administer the surviving spouse's inheritance.
