If you have 2 people on a deed that are not married what happens to the property?

Two people who are not married must be very careful about how the property is titled in the deed. If they want the property to automatically pass to the other if one dies then the property should be taken as joint tenants with right of survivorship. If Robert and Erin owned as JTWRS and Robert died then Erin would be the sole owner. That scheme of ownership could not be changed by a will.
If they do not want the other to become the sole owner if one dies then they should take the property as tenants in common. If Robert and Erin were tenants in common and Robert died then Robert's heirs at law would inherit his half or he could leave it to someone in his will.
You need to decide what should happen to the property if one should die and then have that reflected in the deed.

Does a property deed override a will in new york?
A deed to a property specifies who owns the property. If the property belonged to someone who has died then the property (and the deed to it) become part of the dead persons estate. What happens to the estate is determined by the dead persons will. In view of this it is unclear what you mean by a property deed overriding a will - your question makes little sense.
Can a married couple quit clam property to one another being both the grantee and grantor?
No, a married couple cannot quitclaim property to one another, as they both have an existing legal interest in the property as spouses. However, they can transfer their interest in the property to a third party through a quitclaim deed. Alternatively, they may consider other types of property transfers, such as a warranty deed or a marital property agreement. Consulting with a lawyer is advisable for guidance in specific cases.

What if you were married to the deceased and he got land during the marriage but only his name in on the deed and you r still married when he dies?
That would depend on where you live. In states that recognise community property it does not matter if your name is on the deed, if you purchase the property during the marriage it is community property and both own it equally. In states that do not recognise community property, if his name is the only one on the deed, then it belongs only to him.
What happens to the second deed of trust if the first deed of trust is in foreclosure?
Nothing essentially happens to the 2nd deed of trust unless the property actually goes to sale and the foreclosure does not get cured by either the Trustor or the beneficiary of the 2nd deed of trust. In that case the 2nd deed of trust would cease to exist and drop off title at time of the sale of the property.
