You are in an extremely complicated legal situation. You need to contact an attorney immediately. If your father's girlfriend is on not on the deed you should change the locks immediately to prevent her from removing any property until the will can be probated and an executor appointed. It cannot emphasized enough that you need to speak with an attorney ASAP. It should have happened already. Your rights may depend on the terms in the will. However, no one has the right to take property until the will has been allowed by the court and the estate has been probated.
The girlfriend likely has some of her own property on the premises. It may be difficult to determine what property actually belongs to her but that is a complication of setting up housekeeping while unmarried.
