The original author of a creative work is automatically the owner of the copyright. If there are multiple authors of a jointly created work, they are automatically joint owners.
Ownership can be transferred to others. In the USA it can only be done in a signed writing that is recorded in the US Copyright Office.
The ownership of "works made for hire" varies slightly according to national laws. In the USA, for example, an employer is considered the "author" of works done by its employees and thus owns the copyrights. For independent contracts, however, the contractor is the legal author and owns the copyright unless there is a signed document in the proper form to the contrary result, granting "authorship" to the client.

How is stock ownership determined at death?
Stocks are registered to belong to a person - every country has a legal means of recording this ownership and the companies providing this service are called Share Registrars. When a person dies then the stocks become the property of that person's estate (all the person owned at the time of death). For tax purposes, the monetary value of the stocks must be determined/recorded for the day of the death (This can be done retrospectively from the stock market reports for that day). The ownership of the stocks remain IN THE ESTATE until the executor of the estate obtains a deed of probate (a legal document obtained from a probate court) which then allows him/her to either assign the stocks to the person's heirs (change their ownership) or sell them and divide up the money. When the executor does this the probate document will have to accompany the instructions.
