If the property was acquired as tenants in common, the interest of the decedent will pass to her heirs at law under the laws of intestacy and her estate must be probated providing she didn't name a beneficiary by will. If there was a will and a named beneficiary the estate must be probated for title to pass to the beneficiary.

The division of the property depends on whether the property is separate property or community property. Community property is property that was acquired by a married couple during their marriage. Separate property is property that was inherited, owned before marriage, or gifts. Generally, the spouse receives no separate property. It passes to your children or grandchildren.
