Are offspring entitled to a deceased parent's estate?

This question is inspired by Mary Forsberg, ex-wife and mother of Scott Weiland’s two children, filing legal requests to be executor of his will.
They divorced in 2009. She submitted a will written in 2007 as evidence supporting her right to be declared executor, despite contradicting the current will.
I assume it is because she believes his two children, of whom he had not seen in over a year because she denied him the opportunity, and whom she kept away from their father’s funeral, are entitled to his estate because they are his offspring.
Do you think that being offspring should trump a current will when doling out a deceased person’s estate? Are children entitled to their father’s assets by birthright?
