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.
