Joint tenants must take title under the same instrument and that instrument is called a deed. Under the common law joint tenants must acquire the same interest at the same time. A joint tenancy is based on the legal theory that the tenants own one estate- together. Therefore, when one dies their interest is extinguished and the Survivor is now the sole owner of the estate.
Note also that property can be acquired as joint tenants pursuant to a will that specifically states the property so devised is to be held as joint tenants.
tenancy
When it is owned as tenants by the entirety or joint tenants with another person.
It might. If they hold title as joint tenants or by tenancy by the entirity, yes. If they hold title alone, no. Those properties held by person get transferred to the estate, and the estate must go through probate court.
If the property was owned by the couple as joint tenants or tenants by the entirety the decedent's interest passes automatically to the surviving spouse and is not part of the probate estate. If the property was owned solely by the decedent it becomes part of the estate.
The current tenants of the property in question.
Real property is a part of the estate in every state. It is usually the biggest asset the estate has. However, depending on the ownership of the property, it may not be a part of the estate because it automatically belongs to someone else when they die. If it is owned as 'joint tenants' or 'tenants by the entirety' it will automatically go to the surviving person without entering the estate.
It depends on how they took title. The deed by which the couple acquired the property must be a survivorship deed in order to avoid probate. They must have acquired as joint tenants with the right of survivorship or as tenants by the entirety.If they acquired as tenants in common then the decedent's estate must be probated.It depends on how they took title.

Someone whose business is advertising properties for sale or to let-they link owners with buyers or tenants. In the UK, estate agent is the equivalent term to realtor or real estate broker in the US.
When property is owned as joint tenants with the right of survivorship the property is NOT part of the estate of the first joint owner to die.
An estate surveyor manages property for tenants or occupants with multiple properties such as corporate organizations. An estate valuer engages in property valuation for market feasibility studies, acquisition and disposal of property.
That will depend on the deed and what the ownership is. If it is a right of survivorship, no, it is not a part of the estate. If they are listed as tenants in common, yes, the estate has a claim to part of the property.
