Шо вы говорите??Where there is no will, the heirs are the descendants first and foremost (children etc.). Failing that, the parents and their descendants and, failing that, other members of the family. Therefore: If the deceased leaves neither a spouse nor descendants, the estate is divided equally between his/her parents. If the deceased is unmarried and leaves children, the estate is divided equally between them.  The surviving spouse (or: registered partner) will be only a joint heir along with the children, etc. The total of his/her share of the estate depends on the matrimonial property regime. If the deceased lived with his/her spouse under the statutory property regime of participation in the surplus (”Zugewinngemeinschaft“) and he/she leaves children, the surviving spouse receives half of the estate (¼ by way of legal succession and ¼ as a lump-sum compensatory payment). The remainder of the estate is shared equally between the children.http://www.successions-europe.eu/en/germany/topics/in-the-absence-of-a-will_who-inherits-and-how-much/
