It would be all of them. However you really need to get a will sorted. Making a Will is the only way to ensure that your wishes are carried out after your death. If you have not made a valid Will, your property will pass according to the Law of Intestacy. This may not be what you would have wished. In any event it is likely to take longer to finalise than if you had made a Will. During this time your beneficiaries may not be able to draw any money from your estate. It can mean arguments and distress for relatives
Initialliy if you dont have a will then your estate will pass to your spuse (125,000.00 of it and the remainder will go to your children) as you dont have a spouse then your estate gets divided equally between your children.

I agree with Agustin...
If you died and then had four children without a husband I would expect to see your story in all those crummy newspapers at the grocery check out stand.
As far as who gets what, that's up to you. Consult an attorney.

they would all gain equally. In scotland even if you made a will naming one child as the sole beneficiary the other 3 would be entitled to 1/4 each by law.
I am not sure if the same law applies in england.

if the kids are under age then know body would gain unless you had a will. In Canada when you die without a will your life's loot will be taken by the government and the kids if you have no outside family would go into child protective custody in other words foster care hell.

I think it would be divided equally, but it's always best to make a will. Depending on the age of your children, you want to make sure you appoint a legal guardian in the event of your death, it could be a family member or a friend, but it's best to think of these things and make provision.

Each child will be given a one-fourth share. Being a single mother, you need to have a Will prepared for you. If you cannot afford it, you can prepare one (look online for help) and have two witnesses unrelated to you witness it. Check your state laws to see if you need to be before a notary public. Good luck.

For me the answer is so plain and simple~~~none of your children would gain by your death, unless you count pain and heartache,regrets of things said or not said,and the huge void your passing would bring.

I think that everything would go to the eldest child without a will. I know it used to be the eldest son but not sure if this has changed or not

They all would but it would be down to the first born normally to take responsibility and sort things out, but if their father was still alive then the decent thing would be for him to help his children.

If died and had four children you would be a miracle.
