The will must be in the custody of your aunt. You can't get it to make sure whether it's forged.

You can institute a Suit and obtain injunction. The will then come to light.

There's an alternative. Don't allow the man who received the land under gift deed to cultivate the land. A criminal case will be filed against you and during inquiry you can tell the police about the genuineness of the will.

This alternative may prove to be dangerous if the will is genuine.

Take one step at a time:

Step 1: Thru a lawyer, send a legal notice to Aunt asking her to provide copy of the Will to you .

Step 2: Thru your lawyer, send a legal notice to the buyer of land asking him to tell you whether a Will was shown/given to him before the said property was sold to him.

Also, check and get copy of documents from subregistrar's office stating whose name this land was when it was sold.

Once you receive a reply , then you proceed further legally.
