My father had bought a piece of land in Gujarat with his money. But since living in a joint family bought it in my grandfather's name. Which was later transferred to my grand mother who then executed a limited power of attorney in my uncles name. Now both my grandparents are at heavens abode. My Aunts have now asked for share in the property. All this while my father and mother had been looking after my grandparents. And also have been paying family debts. Is there any way from which we and my uncle can retain the land. Since the land is in Gujarat will Maharashtra amendment to Hindu Succession Act be applicable as we live in Maharashtra. Also, if we do not let them have the property then they want share in a Shop my grandma owned. My father had earlier sold his shop to pay family debts.

you have to show that the share of your uncles had been paid to them either in cash or kind including the family debts.
