Should the proceeds from the sale of the land be distributed among the heirs, considering it the property of the deceased father, or should it be given to the mother, given that she was the one who rented it after the confiscation?

The land belongs to the one who paid its price to the state, and the decision of agricultural confiscation holds no weight, as it is a clear usurpation. The state is not permitted to dispossess ownership except for a valid and recognized legitimate interest, with appropriate compensation. If this is not the case, then the land belongs to the one who paid its price, and there is no obligation to pay rent to the state. The sale of confiscated land is invalid, except to the usurper or to one who can reclaim it from him, and the price must be returned to the buyer. However, if the sale occurred before the usurpation, then it is valid.
