Presume that your friend are a Hindu and you did not mention when his grandmother died and you did not mention no.of son and daughter the grandfather has.If the property was transfer by a registered deed of gift to the son's wife(daughter in law)so she is rightful owner and she can transfer to anybody by way of registered Deed of Sale or Gift or make a WILL.

The ownership in the name of son's wife has not legally been transferred just by getting the name changed in municipal record so the question of subsequent will qua that property do not arise.
