The child needs to obtain guardianship and conservatorship over her father if she wants to control his property. I assume only the father's name is on the property? The girlfriend is at least a tenant and must be given 30 days notice to vacate.

Personal property disappearing between death and the court appointment of someone to settle the estate (even the person named as executor in a Will must receive a court appointment to act) is a widespread property.
While dad is alive, only his agent named in a Durable Power of Attorney can take action.
