The surviving tenant in common will be the owner in fee if what you state is accurate. That tenant in common will be a grantee, not a grantor. The grantors' interest were extinguished by the deed conveyance, so the spouse of a grantor is irrelevant. Hire an OR attorney to search the title.

You are in a fiduciary relationship, so a conveyance to you might be set aside. Hire an attorney to talk to GF and see if he is competent enough to convey a life estate/ remainder deed or some other estate. Just using the POA to convey to yourself could be very bad later on.
