The survivorship rights of either party cannot be severed.In most jurisdictions one party cannot sell or mortgage their interest without the consent of the other party.

If the husband dies, the brother is out of luck and the brother loses his interest in the property. The wife gets it all. If the wife dies the brother gets it all.

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.
