If the father did not understand that he was signing over his right to the property and that it was his intention to transfer the property, it would not be valid. In addition the notarization would be questionable because of the interest of the notary in the transfer. The father's delay in contesting the transfer would be detrimental to his claim. He would need to explain why he waited so long to contest the transfer. There are a lot of missing facts here that would require explanation. He should consult an attorney to bring out missing details and to access his chances of attacking this transfer.
