继承有两种，遗嘱继承和无遗嘱继承
遗嘱继承是按遗嘱来。无遗嘱继承是按本州法律的继承次序来。
不知道你所在的州，无法回答。
When a person dies without having a valid will in place, his or her property passes by what is called "intestate succession" to heirs according to state law. In other words, if you don't have a will, the state will make one for you. All fifty states have laws (or "statutes") of this kind on the books.
