How can you transfer property effective a moment prior to death? You can’t determine or know when death will occur and thus can’t time the transfer to take place prior to death. And once death occurred, it is no longer the deceased’s to transfer. At that point the property belongs to the inheritors.

See BB 147, Gittin 72a. There is no reason why a Chalos can not be set up to be Chal as of a second before death. When death occurs, it was known that as of a second before, the Chalos happened (get was Chal, Nechosim transfered, etc.)
