For claiming your right you must prove the hiba was a fradulant one. If the hiba is made invalid then all the records made after hiba will be invalid. Your Brother's son will be forced to prove the hiba by producing witness in the court. Once the witness was proved as invalid witness then your partition claim will succeed. You have a good case in hand. It is necessary to handover the possession of the property once the hiba was made. As your Brother's son is not in possession you should go-ahead and cancel it.
