I would speak with an attorney in California who can also take a look at the deed but my understanding that your name being added means that you are not a Tenant in Common with your Dad in the property. There are no surviviorship rights in Tenacts in Common so if that is his intention and you have other siblings I would again, speak with a lawyer. Good luck.
