Welcome Diseyl,
If you have been in joint tenancy form of ownership with your spouse and at the same time, there is the right of survivorship involved, therefore you will automatically get rights on the property. By the way, which state are you in?

Hello Diseyl,
If the ownership deed has got joint tenancy with right of survivorship then the property will automatically pass on to the surviving spouse. You can also transfer the property through probate by the laws of intestate succession where the state decides whom to give the property. Or else, the Affidavit of Heirship filed in the County Clerk's record may help in such transfers without a will.

I am married in community of property. When I die, will property automatically be transferred to my wife?
Hi GOPAL,
As you live in a community property state, your wife will have interest in the property. The property will not get automatically transferred to your wife after your death. She will have to file an affidavit of heirship and get the property transferred in her name. If she signs an interspousal transfer deed and removes her name from the property, then it would be considered as your separate property.

my dad has added me as joint owner of his house, when he dies the house becomes mine this has all been done through a lawyer and registered land tiltle. Does my sibling have any rights to fight for half of the house?
As your father has added you to the title of the property as a joint owner, then your sibling will not be able to claim the property. He/she can file a case but there are hardly any chances of that person winning the case.
