Best Answer

When a decedent was the sole owner of property (real and/or personal) their estate must be probated for the property to pass legally to their heirs. If the decedent owned property (real and/or personal) as joint tenants with another person, full title to the property passes automatically to the surviving owner.

When the primary owner of a joint bank account dies, the account usually passes directly to the surviving joint owner(s). The same principle applies to jointly held real property, where ownership automatically transfers to the surviving joint owner(s). It is important to note that the exact rules may vary depending on the jurisdiction and the specific terms of ownership. Consulting with a lawyer or financial professional is advisable for a complete understanding of the process.
