Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

In California Probate. Female in CT due to inherit from Aunt in CA.(Aunt died without a Will) But, she dies while waiting for CA probate on her Aunt's estate. Her hubby is executor of her estate. Now he dies. Their child remains. Can their child receive the Heir's inheritance from teh Aunt's estate directly, or does it still have to go the (now deceased) executor of their estate and then to the child? Can't seem to find any code or info on this. THANKS.

Estates in which the decedent dies without a will are probated pursuant to California's statutory scheme of intestate succession. I would have to know a lot more information to give you a specific answer, and it would help to know what assets were in the estate, how they were held title wise, and whether the aunt was married or had children.
