Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Utah

My Home

Five years ago my dad quit claimed his home to me as a gift. Before he gave me the home I was paying $1,000.00 a month, even after he gave me the home I continued to pay him $1,000.00 per month to show my appreciation. Lately I have not been sending him the money and he has been threatening to take me to court for $300,000.

The title of the home is currently in my and my wifes name.

We have never had a contract and he quit-claimed the home legally with a title company, and it was recorded with the state of Utah recorders office.

Can he really take me to Court and win? Does he have a valid case?
