Legal Question in Family Law in California

Legal Heir

My husband and I have been married for 3 years. He has 9yr old child by his previous marriage who lives with his ex-wife in Virginia. We have no other children. I would like to know who is the legal heir of my husband's assets if he does'nt have a will? In case we have a child how will our joint property be divided between the two children if we both die? Should I maintain seperate account and assets to prevent it going to my husband's son?

Thanks

Re: Legal Heir

Both children are his heirs. You and your husband should prepare wills to have the property divided between the children in the manner you want it to be divided.
