If there is no will at the time of death, the children will take their mother’s property, referred to as her estate, according to the state of Georgia’s rules of intestacy. For example, if a mother dies while married with children, the estate will be divided equally between the spouse and the children. However, the spouse must receive at least a one-third share of the property. If the mother dies unmarried, each child receives an equal share of the mother’s property.
