We don’t know if he was the joint owner. Crucial to check the LR entry.

OP says mother 'added him to deeds' so he is a joint owner. If there is still a restriction on the title that would indicate that mother/son held as tenants in common but if there is no restriction that would indicate held as joint tenants so 100% would be inherited via survivorship.

What I meant was that the might have owned if together rather than as JT. Assume nothing!

Correct, which is why OP needs to check if there is a restriction:

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Check if the following Restriction is listed under Part B Proprietorship Register:[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]'RESTRICTION: No disposition by a sole proprietor of the registered estate (except a trust corporation) under which capital money arises is to be registered unless authorised by an order of the court.'[/FONT]
