Generally only legally adopted children become heirs-at-law. Since you use the term "step-grandchildren" I assume they were not legally adopted by their step-parent and would not be heirs-at-law of the step-parent's parents. You can check the laws of intestacy for your state at the related question link provided below.

Your step father's father died and you think you are entitled to something? Did your step father adopt you? If he didn't adopt you, there is probably no entitlement, unless you were specifically named in the will. The executor of the estate, who may be your step father, will have to show the courts that he distributed the estate as the will specified. If you are in the will, you are entitled to be able to read it. If you are not in the will, and were not adopted, they don't have to share it with you.

No, step-children are not entitled to money from a step-parent unless specifically named in the will.

However, most divorces include a statement that any will written prior to the divorce is considered null and void as it pertains to the spouse.

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.

In NC is the step grandchildren of an heir entitled to to his share of the sale of estate property?
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.
