If no Will exists, the property (estate) is divided among the person's heirs. In California, if the person has a spouse and/or children, the property first goes to them. If there is no spouse or children, the property goes to the person's next nearest relatives.
Yes, the executor of the estate also can be a beneficiary of the will, and often is. Many people will select one of their grown children to be their executor. Children are primarily the beneficiaries of parents' wills. In California, an executor must be at least 18 years old and of sound mind.
If the person did not have a will or trust, often a close relative will handle any probate. If the person was married when they died, their spouse is often the person. Or, if they have adult children, then an adult child.
You can complete probate on your own, but an attorney can make the process easier.
