Legal Question in Family Law in India

Based on the gram panchayat record the house was transferred to me by my grandfather in 1988 based on his WILL. His WILL was not registered and cannot be found anywhere.

Property tax comes in my name and Electricity is on my name. This property is under my name in the revenue department. There is no title deed or anything like that in the village.

My grand father built this house. There is no proof other than everyone knows his parents did not have money.

My grandfather died in 1981. Property was transferred in 1988. No one has made any complaints yet.

So I am trying to be proactive since this is a case of transfer of property with WILL but WILL is lost forever.

Based on this info, am I owner of this house?

Can my grad father's children or grand children file a lawsuit against me for the share

Your title appears to be ripe.

you can not claim your right on the foot of the said will. But you are enjoying the property to the knowledge of other legal heirs for so many years. so, you can claim alternatively under "adverse Possession". any way, the other legal heirs are estooped from claiming it now. You have a bright chance of success even any ill conceived legal action is initiated by any such persons.
