We would need to see the Will and copy of the deed to the house before we could properly advise you. It is likely your father would have a claim for reimbursement.

My Dad Married a woman in 1979 and she died in 1993. While my Dad was on vacation, she willed the house that was in her name to her grandchild. She allowed in the will for my Dad to stay there as long as he played the taxes and kept the place up. He has done so until this year! My question he has been paying on the house for 30 years even though it was in the deceased name, does he not own 1/2 the house even though she willed it to her granddaughter? There was no pre-nup so how can she give away what she does not fully own? The property has not gone thru probate yet and I wonder do I have a leg to stand on getting 1/2 the house to my Dad? He does not have much money to fight it so unless we have a decent chance we cannot contest the Will. He now is lining with me in Co. while his knees are being replaced. Please advise!
