A:
If your grandmother passed away and the houses were in her name only you are going to have to open up a probate estate to transfer them to your father. Once an executor or personal representative has been appointed it will be up to him or her to review your grandmother's estate and determine who is entitled to the property.
If the title of the houses were held in the name of a trust you need to consult with the trustee of that trust and determine who is entitled to the property.
In either instance you should consult with a probate attorney to help you figure out your situation.
