Is grand son's sign required to sell property if his father is dead

Yes, signature is required.
Ancestral property be cannot be sold without consent of successors in case of major and in in case of minority you might have to take permission from the court. And if property disposed without consent, it can be reclaimed. So no need to worry except the wastage of time running from pillar to post in the court premises.

First of all everything depends upon the right, title of the property concerned. If the property is an ancestral property and devolved upon the person through inheritance then obviously his legal heirs such as wife, daughter and son are undivided owner in respect of the property concerned and the same rules apply to the self acquired property of deceased person and their signatures are very much required to sell the property. But if the property is self acquired property of grandfather and if he is still alive then even after the demise of his son the signature of grandson is not required to sell the property.

Yes if the first class legal heir being one of the sons of the deceased is no more than the legal heirs of the said son are required to sign. In that case the widow, son and daughter if any are the legal heirs who are required to sign.
