She suddenly died without any will.
My Grandfather is living.(My Father's father)

Your grandmother's children and her husband have equal rights over the property. First obtain death certificate and legal heir certificate from the concerned. If the property is agricultural land then apply to RDO/SDO to enter the name of the legal heirs of the deceased. If building apply to the Local Panchayat/Municipality as the case may be. if your grandfather, father and uncle agree to divide the property into 3 shares (either equal or unequal), they may divide the property as mutually agreed. If so it is better to register the partition deed.

First obtain the Legal Heir Certificate and it would sort out your issue. Presently the Daughters also would have equal Rights as the case maybe. In your case as per your query there are only sons.

Better discuss with local Advocate after obtaining Legal Heir Certificate and Registration of Partition or any other deed would be mandatory.

The property is not ancestral. On the death of the great-grandmother, the property is jointly vested with the legal heirs i.e her husband (if alive) and two sons.

After the death of mother succession opens. Her sons will get equal share. If the property of mother is from her parents then her husband will have no share
