If you own an asset (for instance a house or bank account) in joint tenancy with a right of survivorship with your spouse then on your death 100% of that asset should belong exclusively to the other joint owner. The asset will not be part of your estate, and no probate is necessary.
If you are on title as joint tenants then you just need the death certificate to transfer title. If you are on title as tenants in common then that part of the property vests in the estate and does not vest in you.In that case you will need a lawyer because you will have to apply to probate the will.

Does Survivorship Override a Will? A valid right of survivorship always overrides a Will. This is because a property that has a right of survivorship passes automatically to the surviving owner, and legally so.
If one owner dies, the property automatically passes to the other owner(s). Property owned in joint tenancy does not form part of your estate (because of the right of survivorship). This means the property is not listed on an application for a grant of probate or administration.
