The property passes to the person's heirs at law by the laws of intestacy. If the property was owned with another person as joint tenants with the right of survivorship or as tenants by the entirety the interest of the decedent passes automatically to the Survivor and bypasses probate.

You can check the laws of intestacy for your state at the related question link provided below.
