Re: Will
Generally speaking, no. The gift of the property will be considered "adeemed" -- a failed gift. Your will may specifically address the issue by including language such as "to my daughter I leave this property known as ... so long as it is owned by me at death." On the other hand, language could provide for the opposite. Selling property named in a will might be a good time to review and update your will.
