Adverse possession and related disputes
Hello, we (parents and I) have been living on a property for over 30 years. In fact, I born here. Along with us, there lives my maternal uncle's family (uncle, aunt, their son and his own family). The entire property belong to my granny's brother - who now lives in Kolkata - sick and old; hence, he does not want to come back. And he asked my granny to look after this property (not by any legal means). This has been so until now.
Things were quite normal but the other family (uncle's son and his family including mother-in-law) have started playing tricks to grab the property. They are aware of the weakness of the owner, that he won't come back at all. Also, they want to get rid of us the same much, and for this uses violent means (like physical attacks), as well as mental torture. My parents are sick too; they are heart patients. I am very much worried about all these. We tried to discuss the matter with the owner, but it is clear he is not interested to interfere! Those people are kind of crazy ones, and don't care police interference as well. They are up for fight with anybody, and threaten us by showing their group of 'bad' guys, and so on.
I need your valuable suggestion on this. What we can do in this matter? What about the property? It would be pretty helpful if you suggest some solution, or my sick parents life would be at risk!
Best regards,
Tanuj

Hello, thanks for your response! No, my grandmother died two years ago.
Alright, that's a good suggestion. Once we did so, and it went quite a far. Later, things had to be stopped without waiting for any result due to serious sickness of my parents.Here, I would like to mention that the original owner (grandmother's brother) or his heir (married daughter) who live in Kolkata are not at all interested in getting back this property nor in distributing them among us (secondary heirs). They have been this ignorant for 30+ years and ignore things even after being contacted by us. Now, can you tell me of any legal way by which we who are in possession for such a long period could claim or get share on the property?

Yeah, now I understood it! I have just one more thing to know regarding this matter. Can you tell me if I am allowed to do some construction stuffs, say, building an extra room or so on this property? Would it be problematic in any manner?
