Ok I am trying to wrap my head around this concept. Here is the scenario: I and the leader of Dublin and I have 2 sons. Now my father has the province next doot. He dies and I get the land but then I get a notification that I will have sucession loss. I have two titles one with Dublin and the other with Leinster ( from my father) but now it shows that Leinster will go to my second son because gravel-kind I think the titles get split between children ( I think) . but do I own it till I die and then loss of title kicks in? I mean I think I have to change the law so that if I dies my oldest son takes it so then it will be mine because when my character dies the son takes over at which time I will be playing him. So do I need to change laws as soon as it happens or can I wait and does the loss take place asap or only upon my death? Thanks....

You won't lose the land till your character dies I would recommend Elective or Primogeniture for your succession.
Succesion laws(all of them) are for when a ruler dies. So in your game you will keep control of both counties until your character dies, at which point his two oldest sons will take over your two counties.
If you do not have a ducal title then you will control your oldest son and the other will become independent. if you have two ducal titles the same thing will happen except the younger son will now have the secondary title.
Gavelkind functions like this: Your oldest eligible heir gets the first title in a tier(count/duke/king), then your next oldest gets one and so on until it goes through all your eligible heirs then begins again with your oldest if you still have more titles.

Gavelkind, from here, and it doesn't have nothing to do with gravel
Answering the question, yes, you'll only lose land when you die (by "lose" I mean your next character won't inherit everything), so if you want to keep it, you should strive to change your succession law now. Death can be quite random in CK2, so waiting too long may not be a fruitful strategy.
