Property held in joint tenancy, tenancy by the entirety, or community property with right of survivorship automatically passes to the survivor when one of the original owners dies. Real estate, bank accounts, vehicles, and investments can all pass this way. No probate is necessary to transfer ownership of the property.
As with the tenancy-in-common, a joint tenancy can exist in three or more people. Obviously, each party must have an interest that is equal to one divided by the total number of joint tenants. If one of the joint tenants dies, the others share his or her interest and they remain joint tenants with each other.

In order to transfer ownership of the marital home pursuant to a divorce, one spouse is going to need to sign a quitclaim deed, interspousal transfer deed, or a grant deed, in order to convey the title to the property.
If it was inherited, succession law comes into play. Once the beneficiaries and their shares, rights and liabilities are decided, the property has to be transferred in their names. For this you need to apply for property transfer at the sub-registrar's office.
To hold a real estate property in joint tenancy, you and the co-owners have to write the abbreviation for joint tenants with the right of survivorship, or JTWROS, on the official real estate deed or title. This creates a legally binding joint tenancy.
If the deceased was sole owner, or co-owned the property without right of survivorship, title passes according to his will. Whoever the will names as the beneficiary to the house inherits it, which requires filing a new deed confirming her title. If the deceased died intestate -- without a will -- state law takes over.
In most cases, the surviving owner or heir obtains the title to the home, the former owner's death certificate, a notarized affidavit of death, and a preliminary change of ownership report form. When all these are gathered, the transfer gets recorded, the fees are paid, and the county issues a new title deed.
