Can ex husband listed as survivor on deed keep property of ex wife that died intestate or does it go to next of kin It is not listed in probate?

In this state, the person on the deed gets the property if the husband is listed on the deed and the wife dies intestate. It does not usually even go through probate. That does not mean it never goes through probate. With this court system, anything is possible. It is still extremely unlikely the next of kin will get the property unless the husband is in prison for killing the wife.
Another PerspectiveGenerally, if a husband and wife own property as tenants-by-the-entirety, a tenancy reserved for legally married couples, a divorce automatically changes that survivorship tenancy to a tenancy-in-common. In that case, the heirs at law of the EX-wife would inherit only her half-interest in the property. The EX-husband would retain his own one-half interest.If the property was held as joint tenants with the right of survivorship a divorce does not usually have any automatic affect on the joint tenancy and the surviving joint tenant will become the sole owner. In states where joint tenancies aren't affected by a divorce decree, the divorcing parties must break the joint tenancy by executing a new deed that creates a tenancy-in-common.
Laws vary in every state on these types of issues. You should consult with an attorney in your state who can review the deeds and the situation and determine the outcome under your state laws.
