If my mother and stepfather each leave to the other in their will all of their property, etc
And they have a joint tenancy with survivorship warranty deed...

Where does that leave us kids...

He has kids and she has kids...

When one dies does his/her half automatically jump to the kids for their half?

Which document dictates?

which document dictates?Hello penny:

Maybe you mis-typed, but from what you wrote, BOTH documents give the remaining spouse ALL the property. The kids are going to have to wait till the other one dies.

The deed superccedes the will. Your step-fathers decentents are in a strong position. If he dies with a will leaving his property to his children, you are out.
