clarification and Rip and the trust

Hi. I am new to Yellowstone, and just watched the entire 3 seasons in the Memorial Day weekend extravaganza. I am unclear about something, though. Beth assumed the trust was signing the ranch over to Rip when John died, BUT when Rip thanks him, it seems like John is taken back and/or confused. Also, he continues to speak of Kayce and eventually Tate running it one day, etc. Are we to assume that Beth misunderstood the letter, and it was NOT alluding to Rip? If so, are we to assume that John D is now aware that this is how Rip has interpreted it? It seems like this sparked and then remain unaddressed over the last few episodes.

It's not the whole ranch, just the original ranch house is being given to Rip. The rest of the ranch is still to be divided up among Beth, Kayce and Jamie, and then eventually to be passed down to their children.

Thing is, Jamie saw a loop hole to take away everything Beth had legalized, so everything she did could be void in the eyes of the law. The land still pretty much in the original contractual agreement that could leave Rip out of the original ranch house. Be curious if Jamie would take that away from him, because he always treated Rip like an equal.
