Uncertainties in the will will lead to litigation in the future.
You are writing that the property shall devolve upon the
a) granddaughter (GD) upon her marriage or b) after the life of the daughter (my friend) whichever is LATER.
so it s confusing.
You can make it simpler
After the demise of the testator the property, It shall devolve upon the daughter and after her {Friend mother} demise to her daughter {Grand daughter of the testator}.
Get it vetted by an experienced lawyer to avoid confusion in the future with simpler terms
The settlement deed can be made with a contingent clause that the Grand daughter will become the sole and absolute owner of the property only after the life interest of the daughter.

Conditional will is incorrect which shall not hold good .
Mother should bequeath her property in favour of her daughter (your female friend).
Seek professional guidance of a local prudent lawyer.

The facts posted suggest prejudice than fear. The issue, in the real sense is unconnected with the property. The owner of the property is only 65 years and she, prima facie, is unconnected with the strained relations of the daughter with latter's husband and daughter.
It is also not known whether the daughter alone is the legal heir to the owner of the property. The posting suggests deeper issues. Please post the 'real' facts leaving aside the perceptions of fear and rebelliousness.
