You cannot circumvent rights of survivorship unless you can prove fraud or undue influence on the part of the Survivor in a court of law. It is extremely arrogant to think that you can circumvent the decedent's desire that certain property passes to their survivor. Survivorship rights are a part of ancient common law. They are deeply ingrained in modern law codes in order to prevent such actions on the part of heirs.

A right of survivorship must be set forth in the deed by which you acquired your property. If the deed doesn't state you received the property as "joint tenants", or as "joint tenants with the right of survivorship" which is required in some jurisdictions, then you own as tenants in common and have no survivorship rights. If you review your deed and the answer isn't clear you should consult with the attorney who represented you at your closing who can draft a confirmatory deed with survivorship rights if necessary.
