When a person dies intestate it is important to check the laws of intestacy where the decedent lived. There are many different formulas that are followed in various jurisdictions throughout the world.
In the US and England a small estate may pass to the surviving spouse but larger estates are often divided between the spouse and children. For instance the spouse may get the first $200,000 then a half of the surplus. Every jurisdiction has its own specific formula.

However, some jurisdictions do make exception to that in various circumstances so that you may be able to inherit. A qualified lawyer practicing inheritance law in your local area will be able to tell you for sure.
