If a person dies without a will, then under most state laws, the property of the decedent would pass under intestate succession. This means that the property would pass to the blood relatives that are closest to the decedent, which would be the wife and any children that the decedent had. If the decedent cut you out of the will, then under most state laws you would be entitled to nothing.
