Answer:
If you are on the deed to your father's home, your entitlement depends on how the title was held. If it was held as joint tenants with rights of survivorship, then you inherit his interest in the home. If it was held as tenants in common, his share would go to the beneficiaries named in his Will, if he had one. If there was no Will and he was not married, his share would go to his children.
The contents of the home would follow the same rules regarding inheritance.
