It's not a gun question but a contracts question (with a bit of Wills & Trusts)
The key question is was any money transferred and can you prove it? If the response is yes, you have a contractual agreement between yourself and the seller. That the seller predeceased the completion of the contract means that his estate assumes responsibility for his existing obligations. The executor of the estate will be responsible for delivering you the gun and the 19 year old son should have no say in such matters. Good luck.
