If Dad was the grantee, then he owned it and his heirs take at his death. Hire a KY attorney to search the title and determine heirship. GF is not an heir and cannot claim a homestead. Heirs as tenants in common should sue her for possession.

Testator can only devise property in his Will that he owns at death. Executed Deed takes effect against all when recorded. Apparently Testator did not own property at death.
