If you co-own a property as tenants in common, each co-owner owns a specific share of the property. This is typically a 50% share each, however it is possible to hold unequal shares.
These are Joint Tenants and Tenants in Common. They apply regardless of whether you are married, in a civil partnership, or unmarried. Both these two types of ownership give the owners rights of occupation in the property, whether you are married or unmarried.

During probate, the court will appoint an executor to oversee the distribution of your husband's assets. The executor will determine who inherits the house and any other assets. If you are the beneficiary of your husband's estate, you may be able to sell the house and avoid paying capital gains tax.
If you own joint property and you wish to sell you must first gain the permission of the other tenants. This is the case for both joint tenants and tenants in common. Whereby one of the tenants does not agree to the sale the tenant who does wish to sell will need to obtain a Court order to sell.
