Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Louisiana

My mother passed away. The house her and my father lived in was inherited from her parents. If my mom and dad took out a mortgage on that house in both their names, what part do I inherit. Also my father has remarried and they are living in the house. Does that change anything?
