Every state has laws that determine the distribution of a decedent's property when there is no will so you have to check that state's laws. But generally, spouses and descendants will take first.

If there are no parents the estate goes to the decedent's siblings in equal shares. If there are some living children and some predeceased children, then the children of that predeceased child takes the share that the predeceased child would have taken.
