No. The half owned by the dead person would go to their estate. However if the property is owned as joint tenants with right of survivorship ( JTWROS ) then the property would automatically be owned by the joint tenant.

∙ 14y agoIf the deed is not in both persons' names then there is no survivorship created in the deed. Survivorship is created as follows: . . . to Ryan Quinn and Erin Rosario as joint tenants with the right of survivorship

∙ 14y agoIt depends on the tenancy recited in their deed. If the owners hold title by a joint tenancy with the right of survivorship when one dies their interest passes automatically to the surviving owners with no need for probate.
If the owners hold as tenants in common, the interest of any owner who dies passes according to their will or the state laws of intestacy. You can check the laws of intestacy in your state at the related question link provided below.

∙ 15y agoThat depends on how the two held title. I will assume there was no will. If they owned the property as joint tenants with the right of survivorship or as tenants by the entirety (married couples only) then the other will become the sole owner when one dies. If they owned the property as tenants in common then the decedent's half share would pass to their heirs at law according to the state laws of intestacy.

If they held as tenants in common then the heirs at law of each one will inherit the property. You can check the laws of intestacy for your state to identify the heirs at law at the related question link provided below.

∙ 16y agoIt depends on the way the deed is written. If it includes 'right of survivorship' then the other party gets the property. Joint tenants would not.

In New Jersey is the surviving spouse cars solely in the deceased names?
In New Jersey a car is the property of the person listed on the Certificate of Title. If the car is in the surviving spouse's name then it is not in the deceased spouse's estate. If the car was in the name of the deceased spouse, then it is in the decedent's estate, even if they both considered it to be the surviving spouse's car and was used solely by that spouse. The sole determining factor is whose name is on the Certificate of Title.
Does the surviving spouse have to repay a home equity loan if they are not listed as a borrower on the loan?
Yes in community property states and maybe in non-community property states. If the state is a communal property state and the surviving spouse that is not a borrower had ANY benefit from the loan, that spouse is responsible for repayment (despite not being a borrowing party on the loan). If the state is a non-communal property state, the estate of the deceased spouse will first be looked to in order to provide the funds to pay off all debts. If there are enough assets to cover the debt, the loan will be paid in full, regardless of the surviving spouse's wishes as the lender's rights come before those that may be beneficiaries to any estate proceeds. If there are not enough assets to cover the loan, the lender may look to liquidate the asset (the surviving spouse's home) in order to satisfy the debt. If the home is NOT in the surviving spouse's name (either through joint tennancy or named ownership), the surviving spouse may not be able to intervene.
