No. Property held in a joint tenancy with the right of survivorship is non-probate property. When one owner dies, full ownership passes automatically to the Survivor, bypassing probate.

How do you know if you have right of survivorship on a property you own with a non-spouse?
A right of survivorship must be set forth in the deed by which you acquired your property. If the deed doesn't state you received the property as "joint tenants", or as "joint tenants with the right of survivorship" which is required in some jurisdictions, then you own as tenants in common and have no survivorship rights. If you review your deed and the answer isn't clear you should consult with the attorney who represented you at your closing who can draft a confirmatory deed with survivorship rights if necessary.
What should you do if you have jointly owned property with a brother and he dies?
The first step is to determine ownership under the laws of the state where the property is located. Ownership rights are determined by the way the title to the property is titled. If the property is held as Joint Tenancy or Joint Tenants With Rights To Survivorship (JTWRS) the propert passes directly to the other owner(s) and is not subject to probate action; if it is held as Tenants-In-Common the share of the property belonging to the deceased is determined by and subject to probate procedure.
If a property is owned by the daughter and the deceased mother is that considered the deceased estate?
The rights in the real property are a part of the estate. If the property was owned with rights of survivorship, the daughter may claim title without going through probate. Consult an attorney who does probate work in your jurisdiciton.
If husband and wife own property jointly with the husband's mother will the wife own two-thirds of the property if her husband dies?
It will depend on the wording of the deed. It could be that each woman owns half of the house if there are 'rights of surviorship' involved. Property that is held as Joint Tenants or Joint Tenants With Rights of Survivorship, automatically passes to the surviving owners and is not subject to probate procedure. Think of it this way:If three people own real estate as joint tenants with the right of survivorship and one dies, their interest disappears and the two survivors own the property in equal shares.The division of real property is always determined by the titling of said property with the exception of a married couple who reside in a community property state.Property held as Tenants In Common does not automatically pass to the surviving owners. It passes to the owner's heirs-at-law according to the state laws of intestacy and is subject to probate procedure. It can be attached by creditors of the deceased to extent of the share. If the three above owned as tenants in common then the surviving wife may own two-thirds.You should consult with an attorney who is familiar with your state laws of probate who can review your deed, explain your rights and determine the status of the property.

In Missouri if brothers are co-owners of real estate and one brother dies does it go to probate court?
It depends upon what you mean by co-owners. If they own the property as "Tenants in Common," then they each own a particular percentage of the property which they can pass along at their death to whomever they wish. If they own the property as Tenants in Common, then yes the deceased brother's share will have to go through probate (unless there was a recorded beneficiary deed). If they own the property as "Joint Tenants" or "Joint Tenants with Rights of Survivorship" then once the first brother dies the property automatically passes to the surviving brother by operation of law. No probate would be necessary in that scenario. The surviving brother would just have to file an Affidavit of Death in the county where the property is located as well as a certified copy of the death certificate. You will know how they own the property based upon what the deed originally conveying the property says. If the deed is silent, state law assumes Tenants in Common.

IF the property is mentioned in her will the gift would be null and void because the property was not part of her estate.
If two names are listed on a deed and one person dies does the surviving party automatically own the entire property?
