Your father's saying that the land is yours does not make it so from a legal point of view. You don't say whether your father left a Will, whether he owned the land with anyone else, or who has the legal right to inherit this land. You do not have a legal claim against that person or persons, but you could seek their cooperation if your father's wishes were known to all. In that case, you either can enter into a written agreement that the land will be transferred to you, or they can transfer their interest(s) in the land to you by signing a deed.
