It depends on what the will says. It must specify that natural grand children and step grandchildren are to be treated the same in order for the step grandchild to get any inheritance. The question seems to indicate that the inheritor is still living and is garnering assets bu being named a beneficiary of a will. If such is the case, the named party is not legally bound to share an inheritance with anyone unless said inheritor is married and lives in a community property state. Be that as it may, as noted stepchildren or grandchildren would have to be named in a will as recipients before they would be entitled to any assets or property. The law considers such persons as being "removed from the bloodline" and would only be considered under probation succession laws if there were no other surviving blood relations.

Parents deceased with no will are grandchildren intitled to property?
Generally, grandchildren would step into their parent's place if their parent predeceased their own parent. If the grandchildren's parent is not deceased the grandchildren are not entitled to share in the estate. For example, suppose Henry, a widower, died without a Will and Henry had two daughters, Molly and Bridget. Molly died several years before Henry. Molly's children would be entitled to share her 50% and Bridget would be entitled to the other 50% of Henry's estate.
Are grandchildren entitled to part of an estate after death if no will is written?
When someone dies without a will the state laws of intestacy provide for the distribution of their property. Generally, if your parent is deceased you would inherit your parent's share of your grandparent's estate. If your parent is not deceased then you have no right to a share of your grandparent's estate. If your grandparent left a will and the will is allowed you have no other right to their estate. You can check the intestacy laws of your state at the link in the related question below.
What are Colorado laws on surviving spouse and property?
In Colorado, a surviving spouse is entitled to an "elective share" of the deceased spouse's estate, which is typically one-third of the estate. If the deceased spouse's will does not provide for the surviving spouse, they can choose to receive the elective share instead. Colorado also has laws that protect a surviving spouse's rights to the marital home and certain personal property.
When my wife of 10 years who has the house in her name dies am I entitled to the house if she leaves part or all of it to someone else in her will?
You may be entitled to an interest by law if you live in a community property state. In addition, you cannot disinherit your spouse in any state except Georgia. If a spouse is left too little or no property he/she can waive the will and take an "elective share" in the estate. That share would be determined by the statutory share in an intestate estate (without a will). You may not receive the entire property but you will receive at least a statutory share. See the related question below for intestate shares state-by-state.
