I was given an ancestral land as gift deed by my grandparents,despite them having four children (all of them are girls). My grandparents were taken care of by my parents, the transfer of asset is done as per their wish. But now my aunt’s are threatening that after the death of my grandparents they are going to court for their share .They don’t give a thing about their parents but want their share. Is that possible ?

If the property has been validly gifted to you through a registered Gift Deed, then it no longer forms a part of your grandfather‘s estate, and will not be part of the inheritance. However, others may still challenge the validity of the gift deed on various grounds, such as the donor not being of sound mind, fraud, misrepresentation etc. In such a situation, you will need to defend the case filed by other family members.

However, the situation is significantly different if the property is ancestral property in a Hindu Undivided Family. In this case, your grandfather could not have gifted the property unless a partition has already occurred.

If the property is self acquired (purchased) by your grandfather then it is his own. If it is passed down from earlier generations then it is ancestral.
