Can my mom take over my father's house after he divorced her and died years later

If the deed is in both their names as joint tenants or joint owners with right of survivorship then she became the owner at the moment of his death.

If you have the deed in front of you, quote the ownership exactly as written.

If you don't have the deed there, don't rely on memory, get a copy from the county and come back and answer the question.
