Your grandfather has the right to Will the property to anyone he wants to. It's his and he has that right exclusively.
Upon his passing, if he doesn't make a Will, it will pass to his children, or the children of a predeceased child.
So if there are 3 surviving children, and 1 predeceased child with 2 surviving children (your grandfather's grandchildren), it would be divided 1/4 for each surviving child, and the remaining 1/4 will be divided between the 2 children of the predeceased child.
Anything else, you would be best to ask an attorney for exactly the situation you are facing.
