Generally, if joint tenants die simultaneously, the property will pass according to each one's will. In the case of no will, the share will pass according to the state laws of intestacy. If it can be proved that although both were injured in the same accident, one lived longer than the other, the property will pass to that person's heirs. However, you should check with an attorney in your area who is familiar with the law in your state.

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.
