You don't have any right over the property of your grandmother which she got from her father. 

You only have right on your grandfather's property

The grandmother received the property through a will and hence it is a self acquired property wrt your grandmother. If she is still alive then your father and his siblings and their children have a share in the property.

After her the property may be partitioned by filing a lawsuit.

Act accordingly.

1. It all depends on the date of death of your grandparents and whether 12 years elapsed as on date of the occupation of land by your grandmother's brother, who died in 2018.

2. Who holds the possession of land, as of date?.

3.  Did your grandmother died intestate ( without executing a WILL ) or she died testate?.

4.  Get the property papers verified by a Lawyer to arrive at the correct opinion.

5.  You can file for partition, declaration and separate possession of the property by metes and bounds, as you are all grand children of the landlord.

- Since , the said property was transferred by your grandmothers father to grandmother , hence after receiving the said property via WILL , these property become her self acquired property. 

- If she died without leaving any WILL etc , then these property would be devolved her legal heirs. i.e . her husband , son & daughter. 

- Yes, being a grandchildren , you can claim the ownership of those property legally. 

- As per law, a tenant cannot claim an ownership right on the ground of adverse possession, even the tenant is living into the tenanted premises since long period. 

- Further, the person cultivating land also cannot become owner of the agriculture land as well. 

- File  suit for Declaration and Permanent Injunction before the court, or file a probate petition before the district judge on the ground of that WILL .

Dear Sir,

You are very well eligible to demand the rent and ownership as per law/rule and you are suggested to serve the legal notice for the same. If the same is not complied by them, file the case in the court.

Dear Sir,

On the basis of Will the grand children can claim. Tenants cannot claim adverse possession. They are in illegal possession. So the grand children can file suit for recovery of possession and damages that is arrears of rent.

If your grandmother is living then she only can claim the proeprty back.

She can issue a legal notice to tenants to vacate the property for default int rental payments.

She can re-claim the agricultural property also from her nephews who are cultivating  or continue to cultivate after their father.

If your grandmother is not living then her legal heirs including your father  only can file any case to vacate the tenants as well as the nephews of yor grandmother from the occupied proeprty by filing suitable cases agaisnt them if they don't agree for amicable settlement.

Grandchildren do not have any rights ion this proeprty since it is not an ancestral property.

The children of your grandmother alone have rights in it that too only after the lifetime of your grandmother.

If your motherland is reported to have died intestate then her legal heirs i.e., her children alone can claim the property from the occupants and after restoring the properties, they can partition the properties amicably among themselves as per law or on the basis of the mutual understanding among themselves.

1. The will was made in favour of your grandmother, Hence, on her demise the property devolved on her children equally.

2. Your father or his siblings are free to file a suit for recovery of possession and partition in the civil court.

3. If your father is not alive then his Class 1 heirs (widow and children) can file the suit to cull out the share.

  1. As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that he has the right to claim his right over the properties.
  2. I would like to apprise you that there cannot be the case of adverse possession at all as the same is there when you would have known about the will and then never tried to stop or try to get back the properties.
  3. That he may have to approach the court of law by filing a suit for its probable and declaration of suit properties in your name.
