Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India

Dear Sir,

We are in a bit of trouble and would like to get your opinion on this. This quiery is related to property law.

My grandfather has 3 daughters and 1 son.When he was alive, he has given a part of his property to his son and one daughter through a will.He has asked to share the remaining land which includes a small house, among the remaining 3 daughters.

Verbally he has given the house to my mother (when he was alive and staying in the neighbourhood. My grand father expired in 2002) which we are currently staying (continuiously since 1995 to till date).This can be proved by our passport addresses and voters list since 1995.

Now the other 2 daughters want us to vacate this house and sell the whole property all together which we are not in favour of, as we do not have another place to stay.

My question is - 1) Are we legally eligible to get the house we are staying since 1995. The house tax is still in the name of my grand father.

2) Is there any law which states that if some one is continuiously staying in a single house for a specific period, he can own the house??

Appreciate your prompt response.
