Do children of a deceased child inherit ? : inheritance of children of a deceased child

Fatawa Question

Assalam U Alaikum. I am only brother with sisters. our father expired 4 years ago and after 7-8 months my grandmother (my father`s mother) expired. she was bed-ridden and demented for few years before her death and not being aware of anything around her even my father`s death. Now she had some property gifted to her by my grandfather many years ago when he was alive, and some bank accounts in a joint name with my father. we have signed all the necessary documents to release the money from the bank as required. I understand that b.coz of my father’s death before his mother we don’t have any rights on these property and as well she has not done any will or Waseeyah Wajeebah as she herself was demented. My father has many brothers and sisters. Now where do we stand in the share from the bank accounts or from the land. Please enlighten me about these issues with reference from hadith and Quran. Also we own a house where we live, my mother and sisters, is in a joint name of my father and one of his brother who is childless as they bought the land together and my father constructed the building. My uncle lives in another country with his wife. We want to transfer all the documents in my mother’s and my uncle’s name instead of my father. Please guide me with the view of hadith and Quran as how to go about these and will there be anybody else, s share in these. Kindly oblige. Thanking you in anticipation.
