It seems your father and grandfather have jointly purchased the property so they both are having undivided share in said property. Upon demise of your father his share will go to his Class I heir and upon demise of your grandfather his share will be inherited by his Class I heir including your father

This will depend on the religion as different religion follows different succession laws.

All the legal heirs - for your grandfather as well as your father - can claim their share in the property.

So, even Sister of your Father as well as Brother of your Father as well as Brother of your Grandfather can claim the shares in the property, depending on whether they are first line or second line or third line Heirs...
