They are mutually exclusive and unrelated documents. A deed conveys title to real property and indicates the rightful owner. Period. The last will and testament is a document which regulates the rights of others over his or her property or family after death. It may in some cases, create a trust upon death of the testator. A will cannot "override" a deed. It can, however, recommend the transfer to another party any real or personal property. A will may also propose liquidation of assets (including real property) so that the proceeds may be redistributed amongst the heirs.

If your name in on a deed, clearly naming you owner or part owner, it's yours. What is in a will are things the person who died has possession of to leave to others. So they can't give your land to someone else, unless they are part owner with you, they can will to someone that part.
