death before doing a will

[eternity]

Sons father passed away unexpectantly, we live in another state. Not sure what the law is regarding probate

 

[army judge]

Without a will to probate, the laws of intestacy apply.

If the dearly departed resided in Florida before his untimely demise, this is how his worldly possessions should be distributed:

If he lived in a state other than Florida, Google "laws of intestacy HIS STATE".
