"Does Dumbledore own the riddle house? I know there were past discussions about the possibility of Lucius Malfoy possibly owning the house, but upon rereading GOF, I noted that the new owner continued to pay Frank Bryce to do the gardening even into his old age, at which point weeds were growing up everywhere."

Don't know, mate. Lucius could have kept the place for dark objects stash, perhaps (but then when Arthur Weasley was giving his troubles in CoS he was dumping stuff off at Knockturn Alley)? I don't know how estate laws in Britain work. It seems the Muggles would think that the last of the Riddles died in that mysterious triple deaths (I don't think LV's orphanage knew of the Riddles or they would have sent him there, ay?). What happens to your things in England if you die without any heir or family member left? Rich people here in the States usually have a will and a family lawyer to execute it. Any inputs from our English members?
