Question

Do adult children have any right to an estate of a parent who dies but the spouse is still living?

Answer

Yes, if there is NOT a will that says differently.

Answer

Indiana inheritance laws would make the children heirs absent a will that gives it all to the spouse. It is common for children to be disinherited, which is always a sad thing. Sometimes, far too often, it is done out of ignorance of the law.
