When people die without a Will, any property left after all debts are paid goes to their heirs at law. From your description, your father and his sister are your grandparents' only children. What they do with their respective inheritances is up to them. Your father can leave his to whomever he wishes in a Will or see it pass to his heirs at law. You aunt can leave hers to whomever she wishes or see it pass to her heirs at law. If your aunt dies without a Will before her husband, her inheritance will pass to him. He can then do whatever he wants with it. If he then dies without a Will, it will pass to his heirs at law, not to hers.
