Answer: Yes you’re definitely going to have a very hard time because he’s free to put the property in her name. She’ll own at least half or all of the property upon his death and you’ll have a considerable difficulty. Unless he changes the deed to include your name(s) there’s nothing you can do about it. I recommend discussing the issue with your father so he’s able to share his thoughts on it and vice versa.
