Help on settlement deed

Hello, Please advice me on this urgent matter,

my name is krishnan, my grandfather had given me a settlement deed for the house he has earned himself, following the unfortunate demise of my father.. now the settlement deed has life interest along with a condition that i can utilise the property and only my unborn kids( i am single now) will have full rights over the house to mortage or to even sale deed..  he had also said no other relation of him have any claim over it and that even he will not cancel the settlement deed following any change of heart in future showing any reasons.

the problem arises now, the goverment has acquired the land for bridge construction, almost all the part of the house is bein aquired, the goverment had intitially sent notice on my grandfather name but then i showed them the settlement deed on my name and got the notice in name, on late stage the speical deputy collector for land aquisition had called me and said since my grand father is alive so the money will only be given to him, my grandfather is living with his other son( my uncle,my dads elder brother) now for 4 months, my uncle has taken my grandfather pending the knowledge of money bein given for the house, now he claims he has a share of this property, my grand father is also siding with him since hes the only son left now.

my sincere and urgent question is, can a settlement deed be cancelled by my grandfather which he had given to my unborn kids through me, is it even legal my uncle is showin interest in this property, what are my options..please advice. thanks in advance..

If it is unregd., deed then it has no valude.  Your grand father cancel it.
