Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

No Will and other unaccounted for Siblings

My father recently passed away, he did not leave a will, our mother is still alive. I have several siblings from this marriage. My father had a child outside of marriage, who he paid child support for, that person is now an adult. Are they entitled to any properties that my parents had?
