When a person dies without a will, the decedent's property passes to heirs at law according to the state laws of intestacy. An estate that has real estate must be probated in order for title to real estate to pass to the heirs legally. Therefore, it is important to make certain the decedent's estate was probated and that title to the real estate passed to your father legally.

If your father was the only heir at law of his deceased parent then his title to the property is established through the Probate Court. If you have questions about the title to the property you should discuss the situation with an attorney who specializes in probate and real estate law. The attorney can make certain the estate was properly probated and could draft a deed that can be recorded in the land records to get the property into your father's name.
