That depends on how they held tenancy. If they held with the right of survivorship then the surviving spouse would own the property. There would be survivorship rights in a tenancy by the entirety or a joint tenancy with the right of survivorship. If they held as tenants in common others may have an interest in the property if the decedent didn't devise their share to the surviving spouse by will.

What includes the right of survivorship?
The right of survivorship is a feature of joint tenancy where if one co-owner passes away, their ownership interest is automatically transferred to the surviving co-owner(s) without the need for probate. This ensures that the surviving co-owner(s) inherit the deceased owner's share of the property.
Can a tenancy in common apply when the property is owned jointly?
The term "joint tenancy" should be reserved for a joint tenancy with the right of survivorship. Although many sources refer to tenants in common as a form of joint ownership that is a misuse of the term and is misleading. Joint tenancy and tenancy in common are properly referred to as different forms of co-ownership or concurrent ownership.If two people acquired the property as joint tenants with the right of survivorship and one dies their interest automatically passes to the surviving joint tenant and the property bypasses probate. A properly drafted joint tenancy cannot be changed as to the survivorship rights of the co-owner when one owner dies. A joint owner cannot leave their interest in the property by their will to any other person.A co-owner who owns property as a joint tenant can break that tenancy and convert it to a tenancy-in-common during life by different methods in different states. In some states a statement can be recorded in the land records declaring the co-owner wants to dissolve the joint tenancy. In other states the co-owner must convey their interest to a straw and the straw conveys it back free of the joint tenancy. A joint tenant can convey their interest to another person during life and the result will be a tenancy in common.When two people own property as tenants-in-common, when one dies their half interest will pass to their heirs by their will or by the state laws of intestacy if there is no will.
If it's not stated on a quitclaim deed is ownership in common?
A proper quitclaim deed will state (paraphrased) that the person, their title, address signs ownership to the other person, title and address. If the quitclaim is signing the property over to two people, then the phrase needs to match what they will have on the deed (in common, with rights of survivorship) and so on. Your title company can help with making the right choice. The signatures should be notarized. Clarification: Yes. If no tenancy is recited then the result is a tenancy in common.

What is survivorship deed?
A Survivorship Deed is an arrangement for owning real property by which a person(s) becomes entitled to a greater interest in jointly owned property by reason of her having survived another person who had an interest in property. A survivorship deed is one that creates a joint tenancy with the right of survivorship or a tenancy-by-the-entirety for legally married couples. A survivorship deed that creates a joint tenancy can name any number of grantees but they must each have an equal interest in the property. If four own the property by survivorship and one dies the other three will each own a one-third interest. The survivorship aspect means that when one dies their interest passes to the survivors automatically with no need for probate. If two people own a property by survivorship and one dies, the survivor will become the sole owner with no need of probate. As joint tenants die the survivors only need to record their death certificate in the land records to clear the title of the decedent's interest.
