The answer

If the state gave the house to your grandfather's wife, whether for a fee or for free, then it belongs to her, and it does not become an inheritance for your grandfather. This is because inheritance is a branch of ownership during life, and your grandfather was not the owner of the house, but rather had the right of usufruct.
