Probably good to consult an attorney. The document stating that the house is your mom's is probably what's most important, but you may need some direction in how best to make it clear and remove your dad's name from the title. You could go to your local title company, present the document and see what they can do to have your dad removed from the title. The date of the document would seem to be the most important issue and it should be noted in changing title.
