The transfer is done by the executor of the estate once the estate is settled. The will indicates who gets the rights in the property, but they are still subject to mortgage and liens and other items.
First of all you have to create an estate to transfer. That is done by filing the necessary document with the probate court. Once the estate is inventoried, the debts settled, then any remaining assets can be distributed.
If any undistributed assets remain in the estate then the estate must be reopened and an estate representative must be appointed by the court.
Happens all the time, but legally is could make the contract null and void. That depends if one party wishes to challenge it. The mistake will usually be picked up by the title company or conveying attorney before closure. Any challenge to it would probably have to be settled in a court of law and if the agreement could be proven to be legitimate in all other aspects then that challenge would likely be unsuccessful.

Someone else will be appointed the executor. The probate court will appoint someone, usually a bank or attorney, if no one 'volunteers' to do the work.
An estate must go through the probate process before being settled to ensure that all relevant taxes and fees due are paid. Once this has happened the estate can be settled and distributed as stipulated in a will.
There is a disconnect here. A living trust is not related to an estate. The wording of the trust and perhaps the will associated with the individual will determine what the expectations are.
Generally, the probate of the first estate would need to be completed. If the next of kin who died is the only heir and was living when the first person died then that person's estate would need to be probated.
If the beneficiary died after the testator you must review the will to make certain there is no set time period the beneficiary must survive the testator. If there is no such provision then the gift becomes part of the beneficiary's estate.
If your father had a will before his death, it will makes easier in dealing with his estate. If there is no will, it could take years before things finally get settled.
The estate is responsible for the debts of the deceased. That means before the estate can be settled, all debts have to be cleared. If there is not enough in the estate to cover them, there are some people who will not get paid.
