Yes. However, they would need to find a buyer who is willing to share the use and possession of the property with the other tenant. If you sold your interest, the owners would become tenants in common.

Does a surviving joint tenant pay inheritance taxes?
No. Joint property with the right of survivorship is a non-probate asset. It may help to think of jointly owned property this way: You both owned the whole property. When the other person died their interest in the property simply vanished. You already owned the property and so you "inherited" nothing.

What is survivorship deed?
A Survivorship Deed is an arrangement for owning real property by which a person(s) becomes entitled to a greater interest in jointly owned property by reason of her having survived another person who had an interest in property. A survivorship deed is one that creates a joint tenancy with the right of survivorship or a tenancy-by-the-entirety for legally married couples. A survivorship deed that creates a joint tenancy can name any number of grantees but they must each have an equal interest in the property. If four own the property by survivorship and one dies the other three will each own a one-third interest. The survivorship aspect means that when one dies their interest passes to the survivors automatically with no need for probate. If two people own a property by survivorship and one dies, the survivor will become the sole owner with no need of probate. As joint tenants die the survivors only need to record their death certificate in the land records to clear the title of the decedent's interest.

Can someone put a lien on your home when it is a personal loan and what if the house is jointly owned and the owners are not married?

Is the beneficiary of a will entitled to a share of the decedent's jointly-owned property?
It depends on what the will states. If the will states that you are the sole beneficiary of all of the decedent's property, you will receive whatever share the decedent owned of the jointly-owned property. The decedent's share of the property will become your share. If there are other beneficiaries and the division of ownership is not specified in the will, the decedent's share of the jointly-owned property will be divided equally amongst the beneficiaries. If the will states a specific division amongst beneficiaries (e.g. 1/2 interest to John Doe, 1/4 interest to Jane Doe and 1/4 interest to Bob Doe), then the decedent's share of the jointly owned property will be divided amongst the beneficiaries accordingly. But, the quick answer to your question is that just because someone else who is still alive has a share of the decedent's property doesn't mean that the entire property reverts to that alive shareholder. The decedent's interest in the property will go to his or her heirs in the same proportion that the decedent owned the property when he or she was alive.
