My father purchased a house site in my name in 1981 when I was 8years old. that deed was registered in my name with my father as the guardian. A house was constructed in this site and I am paying the
he passed away in 2012 . I was 42 years old in 2012. He wrote a will a month before his demise and registered the same in which he mentioned that the house site will be bequeathed to my mother after his demise, saying that he bought the site with his money. She also passed away this year intestate . She did not act on the Will of my father during her lifetime. The house remains in my name and in my possession as on date
My question :
Did my father have the right to include this in his will ? Did I not become the absolute owner after I attained the age of majority in 1991 itself ?>
Can my sisters / brother claim a share of this house site now as both my parents passed away

Your father did not have any right, interest, claim or title over the property registered in your name.
The will executed by him (your father) is invalid.
It would be advisable to consult a local prudent lawyer for better appreciation of documents/facts, guidance and proceeding if there is some truth in the story, which is, prima facie, fabricated and hypothetical.
