No paperwork was ever signed

So, the property is still in your name, and you have nothing to indicate that anyone lives there.

My dad gets the bright idea (sarcasm) to turn the power off on the house which is illegal.

Based on the fact that there is no record of anyone living there, I believe you would have the right to turn off all utilities.

As others have said, I would find another attorney, and start the eviction process. I would also contact the local Sherriff office, through the new attorney, and prove it's your house and that you believe you have a squatter on the premises that you need removed.

Oral contracts are binding in my home state. Not sure where OP's rental house is located.

Also, OP just admitted in writing that he had an oral contact with the tenant/purchaser.

Seriously, get another attorney.
