Lawyers are available now to answer your questions.
1) take search in sub registrar office . if will s registered you would get copy of regd will
2) if will is not regd issue legal notice to brother to furnish copy of will
3) if he refuses file suit for partition to claim your share in property
4) also seek injunction restraining brother from selling property
If your brother is enjoying the properties alone and refuses to give any share in the revenue or property itself and if no peace talks fetches any fruit, then you my either issue a legal notice and then file suit or directly file a partition suit seeking partition and separate possession of your legitimate share in it and also can claim a share in the mesne profits and also the details of accounts of the income augmented so far.
Please be aware that you can seek partition of those properties which are still under common and not been settled/allotted on any individual's name.
If you know the description of the properties, ancestral or self acquired of your father, then you may file a suit for partition to cull out your share therein. If a will was executed in favour of your brother then he can plead it in his defence. The court will order partition by metes and bounds unless it holds that your brother has been able to prove inheritance to the properties.
