What is the name of your state? CT

What happens if husband and wife have two different wills. Each leaves estate to the other, with subsequent instructions in case the spouse is pre-deceased. What happens if the wife dies before the will of the husband is probated? Does it go to heir of the husband or wife? Does distrubution go by date of death or the date the estate is probated? :confused:
