Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Maryland

One of the key features of joint tenancy property is that it passes to the remaining owners. So if property is truly held as joint tenants with rights of survivorship then no, it should not pass through the deceased owner's estate.

Note that this is the exact opposite of what happens with property held as tenants-in-common (tenant in common property goes through each owner's estate).

The above only offers general legal information and not legal advice. The particular facts of a situation may affect how the law applies to you and you may wish to consult with an attorney to review title or answer any specific questions you may have.
