First I’d look at it unsentimentally.
Is it a good house in a good area with what I need? Kitchen size good? Enough bedrooms? Enough bathrooms or space that would give me the ability to add a bathroom if I Needed to? In other words, if it wasn’t my grandparents house, would I consider buying it.?
If the answer to that question is yes, then I’d make sure the family knew that if I bought it, I’d be making some changes and updates. Someone dying in the house wouldn’t faze me, unless it was a violent death. But someone dying a peaceful happy death in their family home wouldn’t be an issue for me.
If all that worked, then I’d buy it in a heartbeat.
After my in-laws died my sister-in-law and her husband bought the house. They repainted, redid the kitchen, updated one bathroom, put on a new deck...lots of changes. But it is still nice to be able to go to the family home with all the pleasant memories.
