The amount lying in India in the bank accounts of A and all the movable assets of A would be divided equally between B and C after the death of their father A. Furthermore, all the immovable properties, if any, of A would also be divided equally between B and C.

If C has all the records relating to the money he sent to his father A and brother B in India then he has the right to recover it after household expenses being defrayed therefrom.

The money which was given and of which no record was maintained and document executed creating rights of recovery cannot be recovered now. C can cull out his share from the movable and immovable properties of his father.
