It depends on how the title reads.

Re: No Will
If the deed reads "joint tenants with right of survivorship", it passes to her. If not, then his one-half would pass to his child(ren), since I assume he had no wife. In the latter case, his child(ren) should initiate probate in his county of reaidence to show title to his one-half passing to the child(ren).
