Re: joint ownership of property
The surviving spouse assumes ownership. Real property is not a probate asset where the surviving spouse assumes ownership.
You do not mention a trust, last will and testament, or other conveyance that may otherwise affect the property.
Contact an attorney should you need assistance.
