Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in India

Indian citizen dies in the United States without a will

I represent the family of an Indian citizen who lived and worked in the United States on an H1-B visa. He died recently without a will, and he owned property in the United States and India. What are the laws of India with regard to the transfer of property without a will. (Intestate Succession in the US). The deceased had a wife and two children from his wife. Thank you for any assistance that you can provide.
