The DEED is the ownership. Adding names isn't some sort of membership, it transfers some fraction of ownership to those people.

The WILL can only direct what assets are in the estate. Depending on how the deed is worded it could be that none of the property remains in the estate. At most, only the fraction that grandma retained is.

Further, the assets distributed by the will are only what is left after all the estate debts are taken care of.

I agree with FlyingRon and admit some admiration at how he seemed to understand the question. Me, I read it twice and still can't quite get there.
