Unfortunately, you will likely have an uphill battle voiding the deed unless you have a doctor's declaration that your father was incompetent at the time he signed the deed. Individuals with early to middle stage Alzheimer's usually have sufficient competency to sign a deed.

Assuming you have insufficient medical records to support your argument that your father was incompetent at the time he signed the deed, perhaps he suffered undue influence from your step-brother. This would be another way to void the deed. This must be proven by clear and strong evidence.
