In the state that I live in (IN) as long as the co owner is on the title of the van then the cowner can take possesion upon death(bc he\she already owns it) That way it doesnt have to go through probate and such. We just went through this prob with my mother-in-law and my wife. We have my mother and law's van now. I hope this helps you.

What is the name of agreement specifying that any unknown mineral rights of a decedent be divided among surviving siblings?
The only binding form of post mortem "agreement" for distribution would be a will or a trust that addresses the property in question. Another way might be to include the "surviving siblings" as joint tenants in the deed with reservation of a life estate for the primary occupant (soon to become the decedent of your question), and addressing mineral rights in any specific way you want.
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.
Can a primary on a loan take the vehicle from a secondary?
Technically, both parties are the owners of the vehicle. It would be best if this is being done against the cosigner's wishes for the primary to contact local law enforcement to notify them of the situation, and to take the vehicle in the quietest way possible. Law enforcement is not likely to get involved, because it is a civil matter; however, if it turns into a disturbance, and the peace is breached, they will become involved and potentially someone will be arrested.
What if the survivors just don't notify the probate court?
If the decedent owned real estate, title cannot pass to the heirs unless the estate is probated. If the decedent had creditors and owned any bank accounts the creditors may become aware of those accounts and could sue the heirs. The debts of the decedent must be paid before any assets are distributed to the heirs.

Can someone among the heirs transfer deeds since other died but his spouse alive since the property not transfer?
If the decedent owned the property by a survivorship deed with his spouse then the property will become the sole property of the surviving spouse upon his death. If the decedent was the sole owner of the property then his estate must be probated in order for the title to real estate to pass to the heirs legally. The property will pass according to the will once it has been reviewed by the court. If the decedent had no will, their property passes according to the laws of intestacy in their jurisdiction.
