Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Louisiana

My parents have been living separately for 26 years, divorce never finalized. I am their only child, 30 years of age. When my father passes away I am terrified my mother will try to sell the land. She has not lived on the property for said 26 years. What, if any, rights do I have to the property?
