David clearly intended for the deed to be delivered to Sissy at his death, and he put the deed in the hands of an independent third party with instructions for it to be delivered to Sissy. Therefore, Sissy is the rightful owner of the farm. Larry and Harry cannot claim ownership as they were not named as heirs in David's instructions, and the farm is not part of David's estate as it was transferred to Sissy before his death. Ann only acted as a delivery person and has no ownership rights.
