A person's will is intended to direct the distribution of their propertyafter their death. Sometimes a person's assets change during life. A testator can transfer property while they are still living even though they may have devised it to someone else in the will. Then as often happens, the testator (the maker of a will) fails to make corrections to their will.

If the testator transferred property by deed during their life that property is not part of the testator's estate at the time of death. Therefore, if it was given to someone else in the will, the testator no longer owned it at the time of death and the gift in the willhas no legal effect unless it can be proved in court there was fraud or undue influence on the part of the grantee.
