Generally, their ownership will be treated as a tenancy in common and the interest of each will pass to their heirs-at-law according to the state laws of intestacy or according to their wills. Their estates will need to be probated. You should seek the advice of an attorney in your area who specializes in probate law. You can check to see if your state has adopted the Uniform Simultaneous Death Act.

If they acquired as joint tenants with the right of survivorship then the surviving owner would own it all. If they owned as tenants in common then the decedent's heirs would inherit their half interest. The estate would need to be probated in order for title to pass to the heirs.
