The right of survivorship literally means that a will is not required. That is, between two people (A and B, for example) who are co-tenants with right of survivorship to a piece of property, the one of A and B who is alive after the other's death will own the property in full. So if A dies first, B will own the property outright, and if B dies first, A will own the property outright. So in any case, right of survivorship by its very existence means that a will is not required regarding that particular item of property only.

No, the right of survivorship typically applies to property held in joint tenancy or tenancy by the entirety, and it allows the interest of a deceased co-owner to automatically pass to the surviving co-owner(s). Without a will, the deceased co-owner's interest would generally be subject to the laws of intestate succession, which determine how the property will be distributed among the heirs.

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.
