No one can answer this question based on the little facts you present. The trust needs to be reviewed by a qualifed estate attorney.

There is too little information to correctly answer your question. There may be a number of tasks to be completed upon death of one spouse owner of the joint revocable trust. It will depend on how the trust was written, how the title of the property was held, etc. You should consult an asset planning attorney for help.
