you didnot say that who are on the possession and your grand father is mothers father r fathers father, if it is on your grand fathers name you file for legal heir certificate, after getting legal heir certificate you make that land on your name. without knowing how ou will sign.

Your very first statement is admission of the fact. Take the paper that they want you to sign and than contact a lawyer. You will be in a position to have a good bargaining power once the recitals of the document and property description is available.

Hi
If the document in the name of your grand father and your uncle, then it is your property.
no body including your relative's son can claim ownership now. if at all there was a sale, then your relative should have done the following 12 years ago
a) registered the sale deed.
b) taken possession of the property.

Ask your relative's son to go to court.
Assuming the court's admit his claim petition you will win the case on the following grounds:
a) THe title deed is in grand father's and Uncle's name
b) Under law of limitation any claim should be filed with in 3 years. A case of this nature should have been filed within 3 years and the person cannot file any case now that too after 12 years.
c) The details regarding the property can be obtained from the sub-registrar office. first get the certified copy of title deed of your house and also get an encumbrance certificate on the property from sub-registrar office from 1970's. These documents shall testify your claim and ownership.
No worries.
