If there is no will whoo determines how an estate is divided among siblings?

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 spouse and no children and no children of predeceased children, then the estate goes up the line to the parents. 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.
