Grandmothers Will?

My grandmother died.She had 8 kids 1 died before she did,she (grandmom) did not change her will.What i want to know is my aunt who died before grandmom,has a daughter.Is my cousin entitled to my aunts share?My uncle who was named owner of the house,says he will not give her my aunts share.I think this is very unfair of him.Thank you!
