1. Since the adoption is registered in accordance with the law it is valid.
2. As the adoption is valid you have an equal share in the ancestral property of your adopted father. He could not have made a will or settlement of the ancestral property in a manner which effectively deprives you of your share. You may file a case for property division in the court and cull out your share in the ancestral property.
1) since adoption deed has been duly registered you are legally adopted . you have rights of natural son
2) you have stated that your adopted father has ancestral property . in such a case adopted father cannot gift , transfer ancestral property to brother son and disnherit you . engage a local lawyer and file partition suit in court for your share in property .
You are the lawful successor. You can question the transfer done by your adoptive father. You can file partition suit.
