The answer

A man's ownership of his wealth ceases upon his death, and it transfers to his heirs according to their legal inheritance. The Almighty's saying: (And for you is half of what your wives leave if they have no child) [Quran 4:12] indicates that the deceased left her wealth and that it became the property of the heirs. Therefore, your mother's inheritance from her father is her property, and if she dies, this inheritance is divided among her legal heirs. It cannot be said that her children inherited from their grandfather, because the money became the property of their mother immediately upon the grandfather's death.
