A: If your grandfather has passed away a probate or at least a small estate affidavit might be necessary for his estate. I recommend that the person named in his Will as Personal Representative contact a probate attorney. If he did not have a Will then his spouse or his children should contact a probate attorney in the state where your grandfather lived.
