If the real property is titled as joint tenants with the right of survivorship and one owner dies, their interest automatically passes to the Survivor. All you need to do is to record a death certificate in the land records to show the other joint tenant is deceased. As for the car, you should call the Department of Motor Vehicles in your state to determine what their policy is when a joint owner dies.
