It depends on the exact language of grandfather's will; if he left everything to grandmother without restriction, any language in the will that attempted to pass the estate on to you and your mother would be ineffective. On the other hand, if he left his estate to grandmother in trust, with the trust estate to go to you and your mother, you and she should inherit on the death of grandmother.
