This will is valid and enforceable because it is not for an heir and does not exceed one-third [of the estate]. The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: "Indeed, Allah has bestowed upon you, at the time of your death, one-third of your wealth as an increase for you in your deeds." This will is valid for grandchildren even if there is a direct son.
