1. If the land and the home is his self acquired proeprty then he can transfer the same to anyone he chooses and his other sons and daughter can do nothing.

2.However if the same is his ancestral proeprty of your nana then his children have equal sahre in it and to stop him transferring it to one person the other children can file a suit for partition and injunction.

3. So act accordingly.

1) is it self acquired property of grand father or ancestral property

2) if it is self acquired property grandfather can execute gift deed and transfer land in favour of eldest son

3) gift deed should be duly stamped and regsitered

If this was your grandfather's self acquired property or inherited from his father as his share out of his father's property, then he is the absolute owner of the properties now in his possession and enjoyment.

Being an absolute owner he has full rights in his property and he can decide about disposing the property i any manner he may desire.

Nobody can force him to give or allot them a share or portion in the property.

He can either execute a registered gift settlement deed or can sell the property at a nominal rate to his son of his choice.
