I will assume that you conveyed your real property to your daughter and reserved a life estate in that property. In that case, your daughter is the owner of the property. She can leave it to someone in her will or it will pass to her heirs-at-law under the laws of intestacy in your state. Generally, if she is married with children, her husband and children will inherit the property if she has no will. You can check your state laws of intestacy at the related question link provided below. Your daughter's death will not affect your life estate. Whoever would inherit her property upon her death either by will or by intestacy would inherit it subject to your life estate.

Your father owns a real estate titled joint tenancy with his daughter if he dies will the estate pass on to his wife or his daughter?
I think the estate will be passed onto his daughter since the real estate entitled joint tenancy with his daughter. The surviving wife will, however, have a very strong case if the father dies intestate (without a will). Get Dad down to a good property lawyer and be prepared to spend $1000 or so. Well worth it, daughter.
