The terms you are using seem to be incorrect. What specifically was done through what entity? Remember that if your father successfully transferred real property from himself to a trust, etc., then he can not as himself transfer the property to you as he no longer has title to the property.

"Alter ego" isn't the right phrase here. However, I can say that real estate cannot be transferred by deed without delivery of the deed to the grantee, and the grantee can refuse to accept. Also, an heir can refuse a gift.
