Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Michigan

I bought a property and also paid completely for all maintenance and repairs for the past 6 years. I have paid all taxes, propane etc. My son and his wife resided there. The problem is I put the property deed into my name along with my son's name. Recently he died in an auto accident. Does the property go back to me or is 1/2 automatically his wifes? what about the expenses incurred? Michigan
