Without know whose money was used to pay for the house, and whether or not your father renounced the purchase, it would appear that he could own 1/4 of the house if you mother and father had established a community between them. Your sister would own 1/2, your mother 1/4. It could all change if your father had a will. BTW, your sister would get her share of the father's interest in addition to her 1/2.
