If your daughter in law was married (not divorced) and your son is still alive, and as she died intestate (no will) but left children the intestacy rules apply.
Is your son still named on the Land Registry title?
Assuming he is not,If the estate is valued at more than £270,000he will inherit:- all the personal property and belongings of your dil who has died, and
- the first £270,000 of the estate, and
- half of the remaining estate.

When a joint tenant dies, the property automatically passes by the rule of survivorship to the surviving joint tenant. There is no need for Probate to deal with a property held as joint tenants.
As the property is registered at the Land Registry, her name name can be removed from the property title simply by registering the death certificate with the Land Registry.
There might be need for letters of administration depending on what the rest of her estate encompasses.

Well it's really your son who should be dealing with her estate.
If his sister in law has removed items without authority she should return them to him
Before any action is taken though, they need to weigh up the costs, both financially and emotionally.
You say paperwork has been removed, but don't say what paperwork.
If it is to do with finances your son needs to present himself to the relevant institutions with marriage and death certificates and at least get the accounts frozen while matters are sorted.
Is there a mortgage on the house?
