As long as your Mom owns the property jointly, or has a power of attorney, there is not much you can do. If the property is held in a trust, you may have a lot you can do, depending on what the trust says. The only way to challenge the transfer of assets while the owner or owners are still alive is to claim and show that there is some undue influence being exerted by a third party.

Depending on how your father's property was titled, you may have a chance. Talk to a lawyer, who will need more details.
