Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Re: Death w/Property titled JTWROS

No, generally. However, there are certainly exceptions (as is always the case.

Without knowing more ... I can offer a POSSIBLE example:

1-If the deceased person had some guardianship/conservatorship over the surviving joint tenant; then there's a possibilty (at least for a short time until legal/court action occurs that the deceased joint's estate may assume such duties thru the adminstrator/executor/trustor POSSIBLY!

2-perhaps through a contractual agreement between joint tenants-POSSIBLY!

As a general rule though, the deceased joint's portion vests in the survivor upon death.
