==Since you are Hindu by religion, on the death of your father all the properties will be devolved upon his wife, children and mother. Your brother had played fraud upon you by managing the staff of Talathi and Tehsil Office. Hence, you have to file a partition suit immediately against your brother and also ask the court to stop all further sales in respect of all the properties listed in the suit. For further doubts you may contact me through Kaanoon phone consultation.

You are saying that your brother forged a gift deed and will purportedly made by your father, to claim inheritance to his properties. Unless the gift deed will are declared forged by the civil court the instruments will continue to remain legal instruments whereunder title has transferred to your brother. You are free to file a civil suit to seek cancellation of the instruments as illegal on the ground that they are forged. Forgery will be difficult to prove unless there is direct evidence which can show that the signature of your father has been forged,

It was your grandfather's self acquired property, upon his death fell into the hands of your father. Your father becomes an absolute owner subsequently and enjoyed the property till his death.

However your brother seems to have fraudulently prepared a will reportedly executed by your father during his life time and is trying to enforce the same as per will. Since you people are suspecting that the will is fraud and a fabricated document, you can challenge the same in the court of law.

You can file a partition suit and seek separate possession of your legitimate share in your father's intestate property, let your brother defend himself by producing the will which can be challenged by you.
