Michigan - my husband's grandparents died. they named their son, my father-in-law, as the executor. they made it very clear in their will that their daughter & her children were to receive absolutely nothing. the house was left to my husband & his brother. then, a quit claim deed was found which named my husband, his brother, and a cousin (the son of the daughter who was to get nothing). my questions are:

1. what is a quit claim deed and what is it for?

2. if the house has to be probated (& i'm sure it does), will the son of the daughter (who both were specified in the will to get nothing) have a say in anything dealing with the house? ie . . sales price.

3. which has more pull : a will or quit claim deed?
