Well, in which country did this happen? What kind of paper or proof exists for this transaction?
In every country there are different requirements for the legal transfer of real estate property.

What was the $1000 for, rental? Purchase?
If your Grandmother made a contract for the land, whether it is a sale or rental that contract (so long it is a legal contract) is binding on her heirs. So if it was sold, it was sold and your option is to buy it back. if it was rented, then the rental contract is still in force.
If rented, the executor/executrix of your grandmother's estate will process the contract as part of the probate process. The land could be sold or be granted to an heir (such as yourself) depending on your grandmother's willed wishes or legal guidelines, whichever applies.
If you are not sure if it was sold or rented, go to the county recorder's office and look up the ownership information in the public records. If you don;t know how, the staff at the office should help you. If it was sold then a deed must have been registered with the recorder's office to be legal and binding.
If the property is still in the name of your grandmother, then you need to deal with the executor of your grandmother's estate. If it is in the other partie's name, you could consider dealing with the other party, or get a lawyer to contest the transfer.
Good luck.

First of all, you can find out about inheritance law in your country. Then you can go on to look for legal advise and if you have proof that the land belongs to your grandma, that will be very helpful. Plus, you have to find out about the people that are currently staying on your grandma's land. You too have to find out whether they have "written agreement" with your grandma or what so ever before your grandma passed away. If they don't, there is a high chance that you will win the case. All the best...

You need to be sure your grandmother did not sell it to them. Check with your local county government office to see who holds title to the land. If it is still in your grandmothers name, did she have a will, if so who was the executor? Talk to them. If she sold the land before she died and it is no longer in her name, you have no rights to the land.
