How is something given to someone that is willed to another person when the testator is on their death bed?

A person may give property away on their death bed. The will is not enforceable on that item because the decedent no longer owned that property at the time of their death.
A will distributes the property owned by the decedent at the time of their death. Testators often give away property during life even when they have mentioned the items in their will. They may have forgotten or they may have changed their mind. In any case, the death bed gift is valid. After the death occurs that property is not part of the testator's estate so it cannot be distributed under the will.

Why would someone leave a life estate?
I will assume you mean to ask why a testator would leave a life estate to another person in the testator's will.A testator provides another person with a life estate to make certain that person will not be "put out" by the people who inherit the property. They want to make certain the life estate holder will have the use and possession of a home for the duration of their natural life. It is a way of still taking care of someone you love even after you have died while still preserving the property for your heirs. Upon the death of the life tenant the heirs, or remainders, own the property free and clear of the life estate.
What if 3 people are named in a will but just before the homeowner dies they transfer ownership of property to one person?
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.A person's will is intended to direct the distribution of their propertyafter their death.

Can a will be kept a secret until the death of the Testator?
Yes, it can. But it's in the best interest of the Testator to make sure that someone knows about the will. If not, the person can be presumed to have died intestate, and the Estate can be handled in that manner.
