Best Answer

It depends on what you mean by "Primary" owner. If you mean that two people signed together to buy a car, if one dies, the other takes possession, period. If it has no liens, cosignors, etc., on it, and the will doesn't specify differently, then it, as well as any other property bought during the marriage in the deceased person's name belongs to the spouse, as they are considered one entity under the law. However, if the title of the car is in a name other than the deceased or their spouse, the car would go to the person whose name is on the title.

Do they lock unowned houses?

There is no such thing as an unowned house. The builder who built it owns it first, then they sell it to an owner, who sells it to another owner, and so on. If it is foreclosed on, the bank owns it. If it left vacant after the owner moves away, that owner continues to own it. If the owner dies and no on inherits the property, the state owns it. Vacant houses are generally kept locked.
