Most likely probate court will need to make a determination. They will want to find any heirs of the deceased and determine an equitable way to divide the assets. Most likely, if you are not the heir, you will need to purchase the deceased share from the estate before you can sell it.

∙ 7y agoWhen a person dies owning real property the decedent's estate must be probated in order to transfer title legally to the heirs. If the "surviving" party is not the legal heir then she/he will have to get a deed from the legal heirs at law or from the duly appointed estate representative.

Can a joint tenant transfer their interest in their property to a trust in California?
Yes. However, you should discuss your plan with an attorney and note that by making a transfer of your interest you will extinguish the survivorship aspect of your ownership. If the other tenant dies their interest will pass to their heirs and not to you as the surviving joint tenant.

Does property and estate automatically transfer to the surviving children if the deceased did not have a will in the state of Texas?
In Texas, if a person dies without a will, their property will be distributed according to intestacy laws.

If the deceased had no spouse but had children, then the property would likely pass to the surviving children.
