Hello, Corey! It is not that easy to gain a property once one dies intestate. According to the laws of intestate succession, the spouse and the children come first.  However, to find a more detailed answer and for further instructions, the surviving spouse should contact a real estate lawyer. Unfortunately, situations like this one make it hard to keep solid relationships with the extended family.
