More information would be needed. How are the assets titled? If everything is in joint names, then it would pass to the surviving owner. As you know, an asset with a designated beneficiary goes to the beneficiary. If the assets were in the decedent's name alone, then in the absence of a Will, the intestate law would determine who gets what. In Michigan, the surviving spouse would be entitled to as much as $200k plus a portion of the remaining assets. The title of the assets is the key.
