You are not providing enough information. However, you need to talk to an attorney. If your deceased grandmother was your maternal grandmother, then her estate would go to her children if there were any alive. If your mother was the only heir, the estate would go to her as her separate property. When your mother died, this separate property and one-half of the community property would go to her heirs. Your father would have usufruct over the community but not the separate property. Your grandmother's succession needs to be done if not already. You have rights to all of your mother's separate property.
