Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Louisiana

I live in the state of LOUISIANA. I married and divorced a lady. During our marriage we purchased a house. We seperated and after almost 10 years of marriage we finally divorced. I filed for the divorce and it was uncontested. I continued to live in the home we purchased and she moved out. About a year after the divorce she passed away. There were no children born to this union and she had none prior to it. My question is since our home was community property prior to her death and there were no descendants. Does any of her siblings have rights to her half of the property or does it all go to me the surviving ex-spouse?

Assuming that she died without a will, her interest in the house would go to her siblings.
