Sir,
My grand Mother (mother's mother) has got only Son ( mother's brother). My mother(60) got one younger sister(58) and elder brother. 4 years ago my uncle(my mother's brother)died. He has no children but carried away with wife who left him for 30 years. After his death Uncle's wife came into picture and started acuiring the property. Though she is not divorced but there was evidence that she was seperated from his Husband. Then my elder brother took this case in hand he fought for the property. In between he forced my grand mother to adopt his son( 16) and made her to write that all the property will belong to his son and that document got registered in the registration Office. In the Document My mother and her sister also signed as withness. Actulally they got an wrong Impression that after winning the case my brother will sort of the issues and he will distribute the property among us. But the case result came as the property shuld be devided two parts. 1. to My grand mother and 2. to my uncle's wife.
Now my brother is keeping quite that he is thinking the property will come to his son after my granmothe's death or his son maturity.If we ask him about the property he simply saying that he can do nothing untill the property comes to his hand. His intention is clear that he want to get the whole property.
Please suggest me how to resolve this issue, so that the property should be distributed among my mother, her sister and my Grand mother's(she is still alive but not so conscious) adopted son( My brohter's son.).
Thanks & regards

At the outset,if you are a Hindu,the adoption of the great grandson by the grand mother is illegal and void.
