On his death, legal ownership passed – by operation of law, without any additional documentation – to you as the survivor. BUT the 'tenants in common' status means that his share of the benefit passes into his estate. It then goes by Will; if there is no Will, there are statutory rules dealing with intestacy. This applies even if he left a Will that gives his share to you. Take legal advice from the solicitors winding-up his assets, either way.
