Re: Death and Estate
You didn't say whose kids they were. If the decedent had children prior to marriage, then those children inherit all of the separate property and 1/2 of the community. If the children are the children of the surviving spouse and the decedent(and there are no others outside the marriage), then surviving spouse takes all.
