If grandmother died intestate her next of kin, in this case her children, would inherit her property. In most jurisdictions the children of a deceased child take their parent's share. If your wife has any siblings they would share their mother's half portion equally. If your wife is an only child then she would receive her mother's half interest. If grandmother owned any property (including bank accounts) in her own name only then her estate must be probated. Title to real property cannot pass to the heirs legally unless the estate is probated.

The answer depends on the details: when was the mortgage granted- when was the survivorship created. If the mortgagor was the sole owner of the property when they granted that mortgage, and later created a survivorship with another, then ownership passed to the survivor subject to the mortgage. If the survivor doesn't pay the mortgage then the lender will take possession of the mortgage by foreclosure.Survivorship property does not become part of the decedent's estate and the mortgage passes with the property to the survivor.
