Legal Question in Family Law in California

Did your significant other have a Will or other testamentary documents, such as a trust or final disposition instructions? If so, those documents would control. If he died intestate, without a Will or similar document, his entire estate, will be distributed through the California laws of intestate succession. This means that his ashes would likely go to his children.
