Generally, when ownership of property is arranged as joint ownership with the right of survivorship and one dies, full ownership passes to the Survivor bypassing probate. Joint property is not a probate asset. In most cases there are no taxes due. However, you should consult with an attorney in your area who can review your situation and explain your tax obligations, if there are any.
To clear the title a death certificate must be recorded in the land records, along with an affidavit or certificate stating that the gross estate does not necessitate a federal estate tax filing and a certificate from the state that there is no inheritance tax due. The attorney will advise you.
