Re: real estate
If he Quit claimed after the father passed then there could be a problem with clear title. A Power of Attorney automatically expires upon the death of the father. Once the father passed away the property should probably have gone through probate.
If the father's estate was never probated that will likely have to be done. If the estate was probated and now closed it will likely have to be reopened and the property will have to go through probate then signed over to you.
