I do not understand. What is the nature of your interest? If not recorded on the title, you have no interest.
Q: My mother father die both left will can I probate both at the same time.After years none of the executor come forward.
Yes, you can. But probate will be expensive as you have to serve the named fiduciaries to get "c.t.a" powers. If you are the only heir, consider an administration instead.

Q: what to do when debt collectors take money out of a joint account in search of person A but only person B's $ is in it?
Answered on Aug 16, 2017
Your father needs to make a motion to vacate the judgment or you need to make a motion to vacate the levy on the account for the basis you said. You said this happened "recently". If it is within a week or two you are OK. It is very hard to get the money back after it is turned over and not just frozen.
