My grandfather’s will is with my uncle (younger brother of my dad) and he claims he has been gifted everything that was owned by my grandpa. Grandpa passed away last year. Grandma is still alive and apparently grandpa didn’t leave anything for her or us according to uncle. He just showed us the first page of the document and has stopped responding to the entire family and is refusing to show the entire gift deed/ will.

For context, my dad supported my grandpa financially when he was alive and looked after his medical expenses/ insurance. But their relationship grew distant in the past few years, chiefly due to grandpa’s orthodox mindset.

Lawyer is telling us to find out exact date of registration of gift deed but we have no idea as the witness was paid off by uncle. Any suggestions how to proceed? Gift deed was signed in a tier 3 city and my family is in a separate megacity so travel will have to be planned properly.

You can challenge the Will. If you do not have a copy and the will was registered, then you can obtain a certified copy. In any case, you can check the land records with the help of a lawyer. Do not delay anything and file a civil suit immediately after consulting a lawyer.
