As your grandfather had already distributed the property accordingly to both his sons. Family of your deceased uncle can only inherit the share of your uncle in the property. However, they can claim their share in the ancestral property but it will be limited to the extent of your deceased uncle's share.

Yes.. the family of the deceased uncle has a legal right over the ancestral property. And the self owned property of your grandfather has to be transferred to the son before his death through a legal registered document or after his death through a will.
There are many other factors need to be seen before coming to final conclusion.
