That's not enough. It is very important to know exactly how the house got from being co-owned by the father and mother to being co-owned by the children. All the steps in between. There was an inheritance, seemingly, but there may have also been a gift, or quitclaim deed, or other form of transfer. We also need to know whether this home was owned by the parents in a community property state.
