Steven executed a valid deed, conveying his strawberry fields:

To my brother, Bob, for life, then to my niece, Nancy, and my nephew, Ned. Bob shall have no right to convey any interest in the strawberry fields. Likewise, should Nancy or Ned attempt to convey any interest in the strawberry fields prior to the date their interest becomes possessory, Nancy's or Ned's interest shall pass to the other.

Subsequently, Bob transfers all of his interest to his friend, Fred. Several weeks after Bob's conveyance, Ned conveys his interest to a bookie to cover his $50,000 gambling debt. Nancy brings a suit to quiet title to the strawberry fields.

Now discuss the following question in your posts:

1. Who will prevail, and why?
