Property of my grandma

Dear property law experts,

We have a house at the name of my grand ma (mother's mother). She has been dead 6 years back. Before death, she could not transfer the property to anyone. She has his son and younger daughter alive at present. However, her elder daughter died much earlier to my Grand ma's death. In this context, following are my questions:

1. Who is the default owner of the property, when has not made a will before her death? Her son and living daughter?

2. Could the children (married before her death) of her elder daughter (who died much earlier to her) demand share of her property, when she has not made any will before her death?

Your response will be highly helpful. Thanks !!~

Thanks Mr. Santosh Jain.

To clarify the whole situation :

My grand ma (G) had 3 children. Eldest daughter (A), middle son (B) and younger daughter (C).

Now G died 6 years back

A died 20 years back, B and C are alive till date.

Now, can A's children claim share of G's property, when, A already died much before G? if Yes, then at what percentage?

Thanks so much for your response.
