You have to review the deed or have someone do it for you… if it refers to “joint tenancy” ownership is past on to the co-owner. If it refers to “tenancies in common” then the co-owner has no right of survivorship, meaning that if one joint owner dies, that owner's interest in the property will be part of his or her estate and pass by inheritance to that owner's devisees or heirs, either by will, or by intestate succession. Also, as each joint owner has an interest in the property, they may, in the absence of any restriction agreed to between the joint owners, sell or otherwise deal with the interest in the property (e.g. mortgage it) during their lifetime, like any other personal interest. Your best course of action would to contact a lawyer to help you. Good luck!

How can i tell what type of deed my mother had and is it legal
I live in NY and my mother passed last nov. She purchased a house with her companion of 16 years. Upon her death he proclaimed I don't care what you do but the house is mine, the truck is mine and the tractor is mine. Come to find on the deed it states my mother as his wife and they were never married. He never got a divorce from his ex whom also passed this past year. Mom sold our family residence and purchased this with his name on it. Unforturnately I have found mom did a lot of things out of character for her. He has a vulgar vocab and has apparantly abused the past wife. Can't prove but I believe she didn't know how to deal. Is the fact that he has her as his wife illegal
