The executrix should be handling the administratiion of the estate assets including the distribution of property to the heirs.  You should inform the executrix that the personal property of your grandmother no longer exists.  Since the items in question no longer exist and consequently are no longer part of the estate, the heirs would not have any recourse against you.
