RSince your grandparents are there with your uncle, there’s nothing stopping him from cajoling or even forcing a will out of them, while they’re alive, or in even more devious cases, forge them.
The only sure fire way to safeguard your interests is to ask your grandparents to settle all self-earned properties of theirs and you or your father can file a partition suit for the ancestral properties.
Sure, a less drastic step would be to get them to prepare a notarized will, with all proper procedures (drafted by an advocate), and have it registered with the Sub-Registrar’s office (of your area). However, this isn’t foolproof, to my knowledge, since as I said earlier, a more devious mind can forge documents and generally complicate the entire field by dragging it to Court later etc.
Though I am a lawyer with some ~6 years of experience, my main area of practice is not the Civil side, so though I know that my advice above is sound, there may be more nuances and options that I’m not aware of.
My suggestion, as is suggested on nearly every post in this sub, is to approach an advocate that specialises in civil law to work out your options and execute them.
