Good evening,
Self acquired property refers to property earned by any person through their own money, and not through ancestral inheritance. Any one who owns such a property has absolute rights over it, and can do anything with the property as they wish. The legal heirs have no rights over that property, when the owner of the property is alive. If the owner passes away without a will, only then will the question of legal heirs inheriting the property come up. Since the property is your grandmother's self acquired property, she can do anything with it as she wishes to do so. She can give it to you, if she wants to, through a registered will, or a gift deed. No one can claim rights on a self acquired property. According to the will, the property will be considered as yours, after the passing of your grandmother. Your uncle will not be able to claim any rights over that property.
Hope this helps!
Regards,
Nandini
