My father and our family running business and living on the property donated by grandma. Now grand pa relative claiming the property as a legal heir .


Quick Summary
A family is facing a property dispute after a grandfather passed away without a will in 1978. His wife, the grandmother, later adopted their son (the father) via a registered will in 1980, granting him power of attorney over her and her late husband's properties. Now, relatives of the grandfather are claiming ownership as legal heirs. The situation is complex due to the nature of the adoption and the grandfather's lack of a will, raising questions about the validity of the adoption and the grandmother's sole inheritance rights.

Vague and confusing facts.

Yes,  the query reveals confused and vague facts.

Is the so called grandma is alive?

What do you mean by "my grandma given registered will / Power of atony to all the property of her/ her husband to father at 1980"?

Who is this relative claiming as a legal heir? How is he related to the grandpa?

In the absence of a proper adoption deed, the adoption cannot be recognised as legally valid.

Second thing, if the grandma was the only legal heir to the grandfather, then she will be entitled to inherit/succeed the properties left behind by her late husband.

Even in that case the grandmother should have legally adopted your father provided your father was minor by age at the time of adoption because adoption can be done only to adopt the children and not an adult as per law.

If the Will has not come into force then there is no reason to recognise the adoption  besides the power of attorney deed will not confer title to your father. 

If somebody is challenging the Will or claiming any share in the property as a right then you fight it out on merits on your side.
