Distribution of estate : inheritance of children of deceased child

Fatawa Question

Assalamu Alaikum ! My question is regarding estate distribution. Our family has got a land which my grandfather had bought long before. My father has expired 11 years back i. e. before my grandfather. My grandfather also expired some 7 years back without distributing the land among his children. He has got 4 sons including my father and 4 daughters. Now the eldest uncle is saying that grandson has no share in grandfather's estate and as my father is also not alive he will also not get the share. So I just wanted to ask whether Islam has such a condition that a son after death does not have share in father’s estate and even the grandson instead of his father cannot have a share. If so, i will forget about it because Allah's order has got far more importance than the share. I hope you will understand my question and guide me on the right path. Thank You.
