The other half for sure will be for the spouse if it has no children, otherwise the children are also heirs. If they have no children, it will depend if the property was conjugal in nature. Conjugal in nature if this was acquired after marriage, if not then the relatives have an edge to contest. Anything conjugal will go all for the family or living better half. |

It depends on the rules of your state. Here in Arizona, we are a community property state, so yes.....UNLESS your spouse has other children. If the spouse does, the children are entitled to their share as well.
It's important to own your house under both your names, with "Right of Survivorship" added...if not, those probate courts can really make your life hard. |

Depends on the state they lived in. In GA the assets are split among the children as one half (jointly) and the spouse getting the other half. |

depends on the laws of the state in which they resided at the time of death, but generally, yes, in a community property state |

When someone dies intestate (i.e. w/o a will) the state laws determine how the estate is handled.
What state are you talking about? |

That's why it's so important to have a will so conflict can be avoided. |

are you wanting all his money. This sounds scary avoid this person. I think you would get all the money unless kids are involved. |

Are you planning on killing your spouse for the money? That's not cool. Jelly Jam Jar Johnson's ex-wife tried that before their divorce was finalized. She got caught thought. Not cool. |

It all depends on what state you live in---but generally I would say yes, the survivor would get all the assets. |

Not is someone else contests it- if everything is in the deceased spouses name it goes into probate. |
