Joint accounts generally include the rights to survivorship. This means the funds in the account that belonged to the deceased automatically pass to the other account holder(s). The funds are not subject to probate procedure, nor are they subject to any terms stated in a will. It is possible that an estate tax could be levied on the portion of the account belonging to the deceased, but in most cases the amount would need to be substantial for that to occur.
