Ordinarily things only wind up going to the state when there are no next of kin. If there are children, ordinarily they would receive the estate, after payment of taxes and other debts and claims.

That having been said, things tend to go much smoother, quicker and sometimes cheaper when there is a will. An estate will a will leaves a lot less to chance. So if your parents are still around, have them do wills.
