Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India

Sir,

My father and uncle (Hindu Family) were the only two partners of a firm started by them in 1967. My father died in 1983 without a Will. Afterwards my uncle and my mother continued as partners for one more year. Afterwards I (Son) was also included as a partner. I have two sisters, one elder than me and one younger than me. Elder sister is married and younger sister is not married. When myself, my uncle and my mother were the partners of the firm, we purchased a land for our business during 1992 in the name of the firm. My uncle also died in the year 1993. Myself and my mother continued the business as partners till 2008 but the partnership was not dissolved. Now we have stopped doing the business and land/building is vacant. My uncle, before his death left an unregistered will in my name. Accordingly his personal assets were transferred into my name. Now, during 2009 i.e. after 26 years of my father's death) my sisters and mother have gone to the court claiming their shares in the land which is in the name of the partnership firm.

My question is "Is their a time limitation to make claims on properties on the basis of legal heirship?" If "Yes" "How many years?".

Kindly answer my question with Act, Sections and Subsection.

Thanks
