In 2001 after my father passed away, his mother already had a will prepared at this time given the property to three grand children and a lifetime right to the daughter for the house. In Sept. 2009 my grandmother did a gerneral Warranty Deed with Life estate given to daughter.
1st question--where does that leave the children of the deceased son after the mother passes concerning the estate?
2nd question---Does the will have any say in the estate since the Warranty Deed was done?

Hi simon!
Welcome to forums!
A will comes into affect after the death of the grantor whereas the warranty deed comes into affect during the lifetime of the grantor. Thus, the warranty deed will get precedence over the will. So, it's the daughter who will be considered as the owner of the property.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

The grandmother has more property beside the property that is covered by the warranty deed will the will be used to decide the fate of this property which is other real estate, bank accounts etc.
