My maternal grandmother gave her lot in Cainta to my mother and to my uncle (now in Canada) in the early 1990s. The transfer of title was halted in the 2000s due to the diagnosis that my mother had cancer. The processing was set aside so that she could deal with her sickness wihtout much stress. Unfortunately, she died in 2013. Since then, the transfer of title still did not push through since we, her legal heirs, and my uncle in Canada did not see the urgency to do so since we are still trying to cope up with our loss and besides, it was a family deal so we weren't much in a hurry. In mid-2016, my other uncle came up to us and said that he wanted to get the lot in Cainta for him to be able to build his house. We objected, but he insisted that the lot was still under my grandmother's name and that she has the right to decide whom to give it to. He continues to argue this but we, the legal heirs, my uncle in Canada and other members of the family object to his proposal. Now, he wants to proceed since he argues that we cannot do anything about it anymore since my grandmother decided to give it to him. What legal remedies could we, as legal heirs, do to prevent him from grabbing the land from us?
Thank you.
