By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

Really I can see leaving one house to the caregiver but not two. My MIL told I don't how many people they could have her car, one being my grandson. When she passed, her granddaughter got the car. My BIL was the POA. Nothing was said why niece got the car. Maybe there was a codicil, maybe my BIL made the decision. My DH just let it go.
If your friend is living in the house caring for this man I would tell your friend to pack up any belongings and move out.
Give no notice since there is no pay involved nor apparently a written contract of employment.
This is going to sound harsh, but from the family's point of view this person is a deadbeat who lived off of their dear old dad and now they have the audacity to try to claim the house too.
My old uncle had a cadre of friends that hung out around his place and helped him with odd jobs. I have no doubt at all that it was implied they would be remembered "some day" but when he died they went so far as to produce a hand written will (written by one of them and supposedly signed by my uncle 🙄) that left them a sizable property. I wasn't averse to giving them some compensation but that was taking things too far, and once the lawyers got involve they got nothing.
My father told me to give $5,000 each to two people after his death although it was not in his will, I did.
My cousin wanted me to give his two cars to a friend after his death, plus $3,000 to another friend, I did, also was not in his will.
That being done is very unusual especially when it comes to money.
Your chances of getting anything are basically zero as you are not related in any, way, shape or form.
This doesn't make sense. The friend (your father) didn't write the old man's will, so how could he put anything in it?
"plus his wife went crazy during this time for reasons I don't know and he hasn't got a dime to his name and nowhere to go is there anything you can do legally"
The caregiving friend's wife (your mother) went crazy? What does this mean? That he had a home and now doesn't?
How long did the friend take care of the man?
How old is your father?
Regardless, as the others have said, without anything being in writing, there is really no hope of the friend getting the old man's houses.
A 95yo promised to give two houses away & was believed? You are joking right?
