The deed takes priority over the will. The will says how property in your Mom's name is to be distributed. The deed is no longer in your Mom's name, unless there is some reservation under the special warranty deed. You could challenge the deed based on the claim of coercion, undue influence or some other theory. This is expensive, and even if you win, it could cost a lot of money.
