What do we do as their children to claim some type of ownership to this property?

Jeffrey Alan Cogan
Answered by attorney Jeffrey Alan Cogan (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Jeffrey A. Cogan Chartered, a PLLC
You may have to probate your father's estate. If he owned it as joint tenancy with right of survivorship, you get nothing. If he owned it as a co-tenant, you can get at least 1/3 for the children, maybe more, depending on your grandmother's will. You may discuss this more with me by emailing me.

Your father's power of attorney is not relevant once he passes. The terms of his trust and/or will dictates who is in charge of the assets and who will receive them.
