Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Iowa

My step grandfather wants to give my husband and I his car August 1, 2010 because he is giving up his license at age 90. The problem lies with my aunts who both live in the same town. They do not want it to happen for selfish reasons and they say it will NOT happen. I am wondering if we have any rights if this is his wish?
