Ownership of real estate is governed by a deed which is usually recorded at the county Recorder of Deeds Office. If the title is in your moms, dads, or both names, he has no right to even be on the property, let alone leave his personal property there. The exception to the normal rule about presence on the property is when he is invited which can be revoked at any time.
