Can I claim property sold by my uncle, as grandson?

The property is still in my grandfather's name. He did not leave any will or settlement. He died in 1975. His legal heirs are two daughters and one son. The two daughters registered a release deed to their brother and received consideration in 1991. At that time, I was a major. I am the son of one daughter. In 1994, my uncle (the son of my grandfather) sold 42 cents out of 62 cents. The children of my grandfather (i.e., the two daughters and one son) passed away in 1997, 2016, and 2023, respectively. Now, may I claim the partially sold property as the grandson of my grandfather (daughter’s son of grandfather)? The property's documents are now kept by my uncle's son, and it is still in my grandfather's name.

As a grandson, you may have a right to the property your grandfather left, especially after the death of his children. Since your uncle sold part of the property, consult a property lawyer to check if you can claim your share, considering the release deed and inheritance laws.
