Claiming father's property after paying his debt

Question:

A man who had two sons owned a piece of land. During his lifetime, he gave this piece of land as Rahn (mortgage) and while he was still alive the younger son paid off the debt to release that piece of land from Rahn. Now, after the man has passed away, the younger son is claiming that since he paid the debt the piece of land solely belongs to him. When paying off the debt it was also not stipulated that the father will owe him the money that he paid on his behalf. Will it be correct for the younger son to claim this?
