in your father ancestral share of property your brother has 1/9th share in the property . deed of family settlement can be made for division of property . have document duly stamped and registered.
as far as self acquired property is concerned your father can bequeath it by will or sell it or gift property to whom sever he desires .
1. If the property is ancestral then your brother has an equal share therein which he can cull out through filing a suit for partition. Legal battle can be avoided if there is a consensus among all the 9 members to divide the property equally by making a deed of settlement.
2. Your father can at his sweet will sell, gift,will or mortgage his self acquired property.
