In many cases, the spouse can inherit your house even if their name was not on the deed. This is because of how the probate process works. When someone dies intestate, their surviving spouse is the first one who gets a chance to file a petition with the court that would initiate administration of the estate.
The most common is joint tenancy with rights of survivorship (JTWROS). In this case, when one owner dies, the assets go directly to the other owner, with no need for probate court.
Assumption of Mortgage After Death If you and a joint owner have a mortgage on a property, the responsibility of making payments on the mortgage will fall on the survivor after the first joint owner passes away. As we mentioned, in this case, the surviving owner would become the sole owner.
One of the biggest risks of joint ownership is that the other owners financial liabilities may affect you. If the joint owner has debts, files for bankruptcy, or is subject to a tax lien or judgment, creditors may pursue the jointly owned property.
A valid Affidavit of Death requires the affiant to have personal knowledge of the deceased. Detailed identification of the deceased, the affiants relationship with them, and the reason for the affidavits execution should be clearly stated. Validation from a Notary Public is essential to certify its legality.

Joint tenancy differs from other forms of ownership, such as tenancy in common, in that it includes the right of survivorship. This means that upon the death of one joint tenant, their interest in the property automatically passes to the surviving joint tenants.
