The typical process to change title to the joint tenancy property after one owner passes is for the surviving owner sign an affidavit of surviving joint tenant before a notary public stating that one of the joint tenant's has passed, attached a certified copy of the death certificate of the person that passed to the document and record it with the county recorder's office where the property is located.
I suggest that you consult with a real estate attorney to assist you in the matter you have inquired about.
