No, the property isn't automatically the surviving spouse. You didn't give enough information on this for me to talk to you about this. Did the deceased have debts? Children outside the marriage? Is the property financed? How are you paying for it?
Absent a probate proceeding, you cannot put a deceased person's name on a deed.
