Am I a USC legacy? Situation:

Paternal Grandpa - Graduated from USC dental school
Dad - Attended USC, transferred to Stanford for Senior year, but died before graduation.

Also, when USC asks which siblings/parents/grandparents went to USC, do I just put their first and last names? Should I put years/school attended?

Also, what do I put for my Dad's occupation? There's no option for putting deceased.

Also, neither of my parents graduated from college but there doesn't seem to be an option for specifying this like in other applications. How will they know this?

Thanks

It does not matter, USC does not put a lot of emphasis on legacy.
My daughter knows of a friend who has 2 siblings, 2 parents that graduated from USC. She did not get admitted for fall, she was admitted for Spring because of weak SAT scores.
I would leave your Dad's occupation as blank. You could also put in the additional information or supplement section that he is deceased.
