If you own the land and your nephew wants to build a house on it, it is not necessarily true that your name has to be removed from the deeds. The ownership of the land can be structured in a way that allows your nephew to build the house while still maintaining your ownership rights.

To really clear title, you will need an AL attorney to sue all subdivision owners in a Quiet Title Action. But first the attorney must carefully search that title. Any restrictions must be in your chain of title, not just someone else's.

Hire a competent attorney to determine Heirship and draft an Affidavit of Heirship and a Deed for the Heirs to convey. A Warranty Deed might help you, but a good lawyer looking at the title and boundaries now is what you really need.
