No. They are now tenants in common. If one joint tenant conveys their interest to a third party the joint tenancy is severed. If brother and sister wish to own as joint tenants they should convey to a straw and then have the straw convey back to them as joint tenants. They should consult with an attorney who can draft a proper deed for their jurisdiction.

In Missouri if brothers are co-owners of real estate and one brother dies does it go to probate court?
It depends upon what you mean by co-owners. If they own the property as "Tenants in Common," then they each own a particular percentage of the property which they can pass along at their death to whomever they wish. If they own the property as Tenants in Common, then yes the deceased brother's share will have to go through probate (unless there was a recorded beneficiary deed). If they own the property as "Joint Tenants" or "Joint Tenants with Rights of Survivorship" then once the first brother dies the property automatically passes to the surviving brother by operation of law. No probate would be necessary in that scenario. The surviving brother would just have to file an Affidavit of Death in the county where the property is located as well as a certified copy of the death certificate. You will know how they own the property based upon what the deed originally conveying the property says. If the deed is silent, state law assumes Tenants in Common.

What happens when brother and sister buy a house and brother dies without leaving a will or survivorship deed Does his son have any claim to house or does sister own all This is in Ohio?
The way the property is titled determines who takes ownership. If the property is titled as Joint Tenants or Joint Tenants With Right of Survivorship, the surviving person(s) named on the deed receive the entire property and it is not subject to probate distribution. If the property is titled as Tenants-In-Common, it is subject to probate distribution as required under the laws of the state in which the property is located.
If mom and daughter are joint tenants of a home and mother dies is daughter liable for mother's credit card debt Can creditors attach liens on home even though daughter has right of survivorship?
I'm not an attorney, and you certainly need the help of an attorney. But joint tenants have equal and undivided rights in the property they own. It doesn't seem unreasonable that creditors will want something from the mother's property.
What does Tenants-in-Common mean when it is under your brother's name on the papers to a home your mother owns?
The designation Tenants-In-Common (or Tenancy-in-Common) on a title or deed indicates the legal owners of the property. Tenants-in-common also means that on the death of your mother, the estate will own half of the house and your brother the other half. He will either have to buy the other half, or the house will be sold and any profits split between the estate and your brother. If your brother is living with your mother, or paying mortgage/taxes/maintenance/down payment, this is common to protect his investment in the property.
Your mother was on title to a house with your daughter. Mother signed a quit claim to you. If your mother passes away can the property be tied up in her probate?
According to your question, your mother and your daughter owned property together. That deed should be recorded in the land records. If they owned as joint tenants with the right of survivorship, when your mother dies her interest in the property would pass automatically to your daughter and bypass probate. If your mother signed a quitclaim deed that conveyed her interest to you, that deed must be recorded in the land records. By executing that deed, she broke the joint tenancy she had with your daughter and now you and your daughter own the property as tenants in common. Your mother no longer owns the property and it would not be included in her probate estate.
