This case seems to be not of adverse possession.

Adverse possession is a hostile possession by the possessor in which the owner should have neglected to evict you even though you are holding it in a hostile manner. If your possession is under permission from him then that is not a hostile possession.

If the person is dead his legal heir can claim it as per succession law. You can possess the land until the time they come to know about their claim in it.

The author is unable to submit correct facts of the query wherein contradictory statements have been posted regarding "sale deed" on the one hand whereas "adverse possession" on the other.
Be clear and resubmit your question, if you intend to seek obligation of experts, otherwise it would be appropriate to consult a local prudent lawyer with relevant documents and fact for professional guidance and necessary proceeding.

Mr,shrinath if you have sale deed then why you need adverse possession? you're lacking with clear material fact.

Whether sale deed is registered? If yes, you are owner, proceed to get entry in patta book as per procedure.

If it is only agreement, Contact legal heirs to get the sale deed registered or discuss with local lawyer, show him all the documents and proceed as per suggestions.
