What else can I help you with?
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.

Does name on title deed override will?
If the property was in trust when it was granted, then the deed would override the trust because the trustee no longer controls it. Similarly, if your will says your children get your house, but you sell it before you die, then the deed overrides the will. but if the trust was not dissolved and a will is processed when the person dies who has the right to the property . the trustee of the living trust or the administrator of the will
Who owns an item that is given before death but then upon death is bequeathed in their will to someone else who is already dead?
A will doesn't become active until the testator has died. The testator is free to give away property while living. Only property owned at death can pass under the will. Many people don't update their wills. If the property was given to someone during the life of the testator then it can't become part of the estate. In this case, the testator may have given the property away because they new the person who was to receive it by the will had already died. The recipient of the property owns it.
Can you leave property to someone in a will if you don't own all the property?

What do you call someone who leaves stuff in a will?
Testator
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.
Who assigns executor?
The testator typically names someone to serve. If they don't, or there is no will, the court will appoint someone.
If someone dies and their beneficiary is dead who gets the money?
If the beneficiary predeceased the testator and there is no contingent beneficiary named in the will the property will be distributed as intestate property under the state laws of intestacy as if there was no will. You can check the laws of your state at the related question link provided below.
What happens if real property left by will to persons who die and without heirs survivors before testator?
A testator's gift by will to a person who is not living at the time the testator died is usually void, and so it doesn't matter if there were surviving heirs of a person whose gift was void because they weren't alive to receive it.One exception is a gift to a branch of a family "per stirpes", which means the gift is divided among the surviving children (or other representatives) of someone who pre-deceased the testator of the will. For example, "I leave the value of my stock portfolio to my two brothers, equally, per stirpes." Even if both brothers die first, their respective estates will inherit and split the gift.
Can a will be changed after someone dies?
Absolutely not. Only a testator can change her will while she is living. Once a testator has died, the provisions set forth in the will can only be modified by a judge.
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.
