Generally, the daughter would own the fee in the property subject to the mother's life estate. So the answer is yes, the property would be part of the daughter's estate.
I will assume that you conveyed your real property to your daughter and reserved a life estate in that property. In that case, your daughter is the owner of the property. She can leave it to someone in her will or it will pass to her heirs-at-law under the laws of intestacy in your state. Generally, if she is married with children, her husband and children will inherit the property if she has no will. You can check your state laws of intestacy at the related question link provided below. Your daughter's death will not affect your life estate. Whoever would inherit her property upon her death either by will or by intestacy would inherit it subject to your life estate.
The rights in the real property are a part of the estate. If the property was owned with rights of survivorship, the daughter may claim title without going through probate. Consult an attorney who does probate work in your jurisdiciton.
