     If there is not a valid will or trust, we will follow Utah's intestate succession rules.

     if any of those children are children of a person other than the surviving spouse, the surviving spouse gets half of the unclaimed property; all the children of the reported owner that are not children of the surviving spouse equally split the other half.

     In cases where the sole reported owner is deceased for more than three years and the will was not probated in district court then heirs may collect unclaimed property via Utah’s intestacy (no validated will) rules.
