Hi
Since the partition of the property has already taken place, the property vested with your ex-husband is his absolute property.
In absence of any WILL, the property of your ex-husband will vest in 2 equal shares(1 for your son and 1 for the second wife).
Your son should file a partition suit in the court claiming his rightful share. However if the property left behind is a residence the property will be divided by metes and bounds between your son and his second wife (i.e in to two portions) and your son will have to respect the dwelling rights of the second wife till her life time.
