An account held in a joint ownership with the right of survivorship will pass to the surviving account owner automatically when the first joint owner dies. When that happens the account becomes their sole property and can be left to an heir. The bank may allow the account owners to file a POD beneficiary who will inherit the account when the last surviving owner dies. You should discuss your questions with your bank.
However, remember that when two people have a joint account and one dies the account becomes the sole property of the Survivor even if the first to die had a POD.

What about it? If you are listed on a parent's or child's account to assure bills are paid in the even something happens to the other person, and you have contributed none of the money in the account, the trustee probably will let you claim it as property in trust for another. Otherwise, half of it counts as your asset.
Oftentimes account statements you receive from your bank or brokerage may have the abbreviation JTWROS on them. What does this strange string of letters mean to you? Often shown in its abbreviated format, JTWROS, or Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship is a legal way to hold real property in which ownership is shared by two or more people. Each party, called a joint tenant, enjoys equal rights to the property. That's what the joint tenants part of JTWROS means. Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship can be used in the case of unmarried or married couples. Some assets that are typically held by way of JTWROS include primary residences and bank or brokerage accounts. Sometimes business partners will hold their business property as Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship. What happens when one of the joint tenants dies? That's where the right of survivorship comes into play. Upon the death of one of the joint tenants, the ownership of property passes directly to the other joint tenant(s), regardless of any conflicting instructions for distribution of that property in the decedent's will. So using Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship to hold property keeps the property out of the estate of a deceased joint tenant, though estate and/or gift taxes may apply. But make sure you understand this point; liabilities attached to a property held Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship (like a mortgage on a home) continue to be attached to that property and become the responsibility of the surviving joint tenants. Unless ownership is reregistered differently, property held Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship passes to the estate of the last surviving joint tenant. So the next time you see these letters listed somewhere you'll know what they mean and if someone asks you how you want to register the ownership of an account you may be a little bit more prepared.
If the surviving spouse (or anyone else, for that matter) is listed as the beneficiary, then the beneficiary is entitled to the proceeds. However, if no one else is listed on the account, it may very well wind up in probate (court).

It depends. The three owners of the property are listed on the deed either as "cotenants" or "cotenants with right of survivorship." If they are listed simply as "cotenants," then it may be that the wife gets his share (but it actually depends on the laws where you live). If they are listed as "cotenants with right of survivorship," then the wife does not get his share (though, again, it actually depends on the laws where you live). She should consult a lawyer to find out what the situation is, but she should do it in such a way as not to antagonize the mother and aunt.
All siblings should be listed as joint tenants with the right of survivorship if your desire is that all siblings own the property and that upon death each sibling's interest would automatically pass to the surviving siblings.
If you are not listed as a signer on the account you should receive absolutely no information about that account, including the balance.
