My condolences, as for the issue at hand.
We had some similar issues when my grandparents died.

Essentially it all boils down to how your grandfather took care of things.
In My family everybody knew what they both wanted, but nothing was put in paper

IT wasn't about a huge estage, or big value , it was about emotional things, memories , and the way to deal with the house and memories.
The idea was to get together as brothers and sisters, and have a final sitdown at the big table before doing anything to the house.

It wasn't meant to be, 2 of the inlaws took controle, causing 1 brother and 1 sister to oppose everything... And my mother being the undercutting , vicious C that she is, took sides with them because she wanted to haul things out herself.

the 2 remaining brothers, the ones that wanted to say good bye to the house they grew up in, and myself who was raised there as sort of the 6th one (because my mum didn't bother).. were cut out..
And the 2 remaining brothers did not block things via attorneys or notaries because they were to emotional about being stabbed in the back by their own brothers.


You want my advice : Look at things without letting the emotional side take over.
Have things run by the book, no exceptions whatsoever.
