Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Rhode Island
family matters
does a written will ever supercede a deed to a home/land? several yrs ago my grandmother quick deeded her home to include me due to her need for financial assistance. her will indicates her daughter/my mother as the only benificiary. now all three of us are on the deed. where do we stand should grandmother pass? also, since i was placed on the deed, my mother has remarried, and the gentleman indicated that rhode island law states that the house would become his in the event both mother and daughter should pass.

Re: family matters
This deed supersedes a will-but only your mother and you should be on the deed(unless your grandma wants your moms new husband to get something).If you need further assistance send me a e-mail and tell me how I can contact you by telephone.Your are on the right page that this estate planning should be done now -before any thing happens(about 90% of the estate plans are not done or completed at the time of the death of anyone that dies)
