Yes, NC is a tenancy by the entireties state.
Yes
The answer depends on what tenancy IS recited in the deed, whether yours is a community property state and the state laws of intestacy which you can check out at the related question link below.
Not if the house is owned in joint tenancy with right of survivorship or tenancy by the entireties, unless the other spouse-owner joins in a valid conveyance to effectuate this. Conveyances can occur in some cases subject to liens as encumbrances.
No. In order to create an entireties estate the parties would need to execute and record a deed from John Doe and Mary Doe, formally known as Mary Maiden Name (assuming Mary changed her name), husband and wife, to John Doe and Mary Doe, husband and wife (in some states, and in others, husband and wife as an estate by the entireties). The deed should have specific language stating that its purpose is to create an estate by the entireties. Until this is done, the property would remain in Joint Tenancy.
Tenancy by the entirety is the way legally married people can hold title to their property. It means that when one dies the other automatically becomes the sole owner of the property. Absolute ownership means that you own the fee interest in the property. You have the right to the use and possession of the property and can leave it to your heirs when you die.

In the UK:You need to look for the phrase, "RESTRICTION: No disposition by a sole proprietor of the registered estate . . . ." This will appear under the sub heading Title Absolute which can be found under the main heading "Proprietorship Register". If this phrase is missing then it will be jointly ownedIf the words "tenants in common" do not appear it is presumed to be a joint tenant arrangement.In the USGenerally, the default tenancy (when no tenancy is recited) is tenancy in common. However, there are many variations from state to state. The default tenancy for married grantees is joint tenancy in some states. In my state the tenancy will be considered a tenancy in common in any deed if no tenancy is recited. You need to check your state laws.
If the owners become legally married, their title can be converted to a tenancy by the entirety if that tenancy is permitted by state law. The parties should consult with an attorney who specializes in real estate law to make certain the change is made correctly and effectively under state law.
No it is community property
Yes. Indiana Code 32-17-3, et.seq., contemplates tenancy by the entirety for married couples, and the tenancy is supported in case law.
