Answer:
If there is no spouse and no Will is, the home goes to the children in all States if there are children. If there is a deceased child, then to children of deceased child. An estate can be opened if there are assets that need to be probated. An heirship affidavit may also be available when title is transferred (the house is sold) without probate in some states. An attorney should be consulted in your location to consult with you about all your options.
