Sorry for your loss.
It depends on how the assets are titled, the type of assets and the character of the assets. All community property will go to his wife. All assets that have a beneficiary designation goes to whoever is named as the beneficiary. All assets held in joint tenancy will go to the co-owner. If there are sepparate property assets, those will be divided between his wife, your sister and you.
