Legal Question in Family Law in California

I am adult who's parents are getting a divorce. After the divorce they will rearrange their wills. If my father dies before the divorce is finished, does my mother get 100% of jointly owned property even though they are in the process of the divorce? If they have been legally separated, how does that affect? Would I as a potential heir having any standing in legally continuing the divorce on the grounds that it would affect what I inherit?
