DEAR SIRS:

NOW I THE ELDEST SON WOULD LIKE TO RETIRE / SEPARATE FROM THE SAID BUSINESS AND MY YOUNGER BROTHER WANTS ALL THE BUSINESS PROPERTIES AS WELL AS THE NAME OF THE COMPANIES.HE IS READY TO GIVE ME THE GOODWILL AMOUNT AS WELL AS 50% OF THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF THE PROPERTY BY CHECK.

A partnership ts governed by PARTNERSHIP ACT,reproducing your own word,now" AND WE BOTH WERE WITH HIM AS A PARTNER SINCE 1989." how can then there be "A FAMILY ARRANGEMENT"
if it is a partnership.In case there are only two partners,you and your brother,the firm will go dissolved,in case there are partners more than 2,you can retire from firm subject to terms of deed.IN case it was a proprietors'business devolving up on you two the matter would be all the way different.
HENCE BE SURE ABOUT FACTS THEN SEEK OPINION.
