Yes. She is the sole owner.

If you are on the deed as a Joint Tenant, you have survivorship rights to the property. That means that the property would not be subject to probate, and does not become part of the decedent's estate. Full ownership passes automatically to you whether you are a "girlfriend", sister, uncle or any other person.

What are the differences between tenants in common and rights of survivorship in terms of property ownership?

Tenants in common and rights of survivorship are two ways to co-own property. In tenants in common, each owner has a specific share of the property that can be passed on to their heirs. In rights of survivorship, when one owner dies, their share automatically goes to the surviving owner(s).


How do you know if you have right of survivorship on a property you own with a non-spouse?

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.

When mother dies and daughter is on deed as joint tenant with rights of survivorship does daughter have sole rights to property if will says property divided among heirs?

Yes. If you owned the property with your mother as joint tenants with the right of survivorship then sole ownership passed to you when she died. She could not dispose of her interest by will.

Does girlfriend have rights when boyfriend dies?

No, there are no rights as there is no legal relationship. Unless she was named in the will, or they owned property together, there are no rights to his property or any say in his funeral arrangements. She is entitled to anything that is hers that may be at his place or if they shared a home. If this is the case there may be some conflict between the executor and it might be good to consult an attorney to protect her property rights.
