It sounds like the property went to his 6 living children in equal shares. If you are a child of one if the grandfather's children then you would want to be involved with the probate of your parent's estate to determine what should happen with your parent's share. If it was your parent who died in 2014 then you will need to probate your parent's estate. If an executor has already been appointed then you may want to file a motion requiring notice of any actions taken by the executor or administrator. You will need an attorney to assist you with this and I recommend you retain one if your parent's estate has not yet been probated.
I hope this has helped and I wish you all the best.
