Typically, the answer is "no" grandmother doesn't own the property by herself. She likely owns her community 1/2, with the children owning the other 1/2. If the property was owned as a joint tenancy with survivorship rights, or if grandfather executed a ladybird deed prior to death, then that's a different story.
