It depends how it was owned...
Tenancy in common - Joint ownership of property where each owner owns a separate share in the property. On the death of one of the tenants, their share passes to their beneficiaries in accordance with their will or intestacy.
Joint tenancy - A type of joint ownership of property, where each owner is called a "joint tenant" and each owns the whole of the asset, rather than a distinct fractional share. When a joint tenant dies, the asset in question does not pass to his personal representatives.
