As previous counsel has said, it depends on what relatives she has.

When someone dies without a will, or other provision providing for the distribution of their property, then the property is governed by intestate succession. This is a set of statutes in the probate code that tells which one of the living relatives inherits, based on their family relationship to the deceased.
