1. The property will vest equally in all the children of mother if she did not make a will during her life time.
2. If it emerges that during the evening of her life mother was coerced to make the will then the same may be challenged by the younger son in a court of law. The court may strike down the will as illegal, in which scenario the younger son will be able to enforce his rights in the property.
