You need to consult with an attorney who can review your grandmother's will. There are different ways a testator can arrange to leave property. The possibility that a beneficiary may predecease the testator should be addressed in the will. If the gift is made per stirpes, the gift passes to the deceased beneficiary's children. If the gift is made per capita, it passes to the siblings of the deceased beneficiary. If the will is silent you need legal advice on how the situation will be addressed by the law in your state.
Under UK Law: The trustee's must authorise the release of the property to the beneficiary(s) The beneficiaries under certain trust law can demand the property of the trust, but the trust deed must state a legal 'absolute' entitlement to that property. If the beneficiary has an absolute right to that property and has attained the stated age at which he or she should receive that property then the trustee's must authorise the payment to the beneficiary. IF it is a discretionary trust then you are only a 'potential' beneficiary and have no legal right to demand the property
It depends on the provisions in the wills. If the wills name a contingent beneficiary then that person inherits if the primary beneficiary has predeceased the testator. If there is no contingent beneficiary then the property would pass as intestate property according to state laws of intestacy. You can check your state laws of intestacy at the related question link provided below. You should remember that a person becomes an executor only when appointed by a court. The probating of an estate should be supervised by an attorney who can answer all your legal questions and make certain the law is followed.

He should take all the possession of the property he inherited. Of course if the wife did not inherit any of the property.
If the husband is the policy "owner", and the children are listed as "revocable" beneficiaries, then the change can be made. However, you can be sure [that] when the husband dies, the new beneficiary designation will be challenged. Think carefully about this before you act. Perhaps , assuming the husband is insurable, a new (additional) policy should be purchased naming the new wife as the primary beneficiary.
This is a complicated issue. Generally, a wife has no legal claim to any property inherited by her husband during his life. However, she may inherit an interest in any property he owns at the time of his death unless it was bequeathed to some other beneficiary in a valid Will. She may also have a claim to property he inherited if marital assets were used to maintain or improve it. An example would be real property such as a two family home inherited by the husband. If you think your situation is similar to any mentioned above you should consult with an attorney who can explain your rights and options.
