Community property goes to the surviving spouse. Property that was the deceased sole and separate property is divided between spouse and other heirs according to a formula in the Probabe Code. Since a golf cart cannot be divided, unless any other claimants are willing to let one heir have it, it will have to be sold and the proceeds divided per the Code.
