Is it permissible for me to donate 120 dinars as charity on behalf of my deceased grandmother, or must it be distributed among her heirs (my mother and maternal aunts), given that the heirs are unaware of the existence of this amount and she did not bequeath it to anyone?

The aforementioned amount is the right of the heirs, and it is not permissible to dispose of it through charity or otherwise. Rather, it must be handed over to them so that they can divide it according to the distribution, and you should not undertake its distribution.
