If the person who died is your spouse and there is no will - yes.

If the person who died is your relative and has an estate, then their part of the account (50% unless there's some sort of document that proves he / she owned more or less than 50% of the account) would go to the estate and not available to you. If the person has no estate and is unrelated to you (I believe) the State of residency for the deceased would get it throught the unclaimed property laws.
