Has a Deed been executed and recorded with you as the owner or not? If not, then you do not own anything but probably a contractual right, which the seller might try to modify. Just because you have paid out monies does not make you the titled owner. Hire a competent LA attorney for advice.

If the son was alive, when his father passed, then, the son is the rightful owner, by LA intestacy law (no Will) as to his father's property. But, if the son has now also passed, then, you have to look at whether the son had children of his own, any other sibling, or descendants from those... View More

It depends. You will need to look at the Will, if any, terms and the end Judgment. A legal usufruct may be provided to the surviving spouse as to all former community property - both movable and immovable.
