you can file partition suit and get consented decree after getting signed a family settlement deed. therefore, all kids n husband can get share separately . your maternal grand father's property would be divided into four equal shares and the property will excluding the property which has already sold to you. rest of the property would be divided accordingly. you mother 1/4 share would be divided into sons and daughters accordingly.

Yes the solution lies in a family settlement. The compromise deed will have to contain all property/transaction details so that it is distinguishable which property you purchased from you grandfather and which you have inherited without any consideration, following his death. A son-in-law (your father) cannot claim any interest in your maternal grandfather's property. But your siblings can claim their share in the ancestral property. A chart will have to prepared and modalities worked out.
