One of the answers, mentions that my grand mother(father's mother) is also an heir. Could this be confirmed please? She was alive at the time of his death, but expired in 2013.

If your grandmother is not alive then she may not considered to be included in the legal heirship certificate after her death.

However if she has died before your father, then she is not entitled to any share in the property.
