It appears from your question that grandfather owed IRS taxes, and that they filed a tax lien on the house. His estate is liable for the taxes. The executor, administrator, or personal representative of the estate should  consider contacting the IRS to make arrangements to pay the taxes from assets of the estate. You will probably not be able to sell or transfer good title to the house until the tax lien is released.
