Generally, jointly held property passes automatically to the surviving joint owner. It does not become a probate asset so it is not exposed to creditors. However, the situation changes if the creditor attached the property prior to the death of the debtor. Creditors can attach jointly held property while the debtor is living but if a creditor fails to attach prior to the death of the debtor then the property passes to the surviving joint tenant and the creditor is out of luck.

Basically, if you are married your spouse gets the first big chunk with the rest going to your children if you have any. If you are not married it will be divided equally among your children, if you have no children, then your parents, if no parents, your siblings. The list goes on until you have run out of potential relatives. If no relatives can be traced whatsoever then the estate will pass to the Crown.
