No. Any assets held by you and your spouse as joint tenants became your sole property automatically upon his/her death. You are the sole owner.

It depends on if your spouse had a Will. You could get everything, you could get nothing. In my grandmother's Will she left her house to me where if there was no Will the house would have been sold and the money would have been split between her 5 children. In this case there was no spouse. Usually if there is no Will it all stays with the spouse. From there it goes to children.
Typically the spouse inherits the entire estate unless there are children involved.
Probably Spouse first, then his Estate then the children.
Depends on the state you live in. If it is a community property state, all debts and assets are considered to belong to both spouses.

If the deceased leaves a valid will, the provisions of the will would be followed regardless of whether there is a spouse. If the deceased were intestate, the judge would decide how the deceased's belongings would be distributed.
AnswerIf there is a will, then you are entitled to what it provides. With no will, the laws of your particular state will govern the dividing of the assets, with the surviving spouse being entitled to some percentage, but frequently not all.If not married and live for 5 years and my spouse written and sign by his own on his Will and give it to me, am i still entitled to this Will or not.
