What they got signed from you if have been converted into your Will, you can always revoke it. You have options to take action against your mother/brothers in criminal law, which I think you will not think of. Find out the contents of the papers which they have fabricated after you put your signatures. It appears that they are just putting pressures on you to get a settlement on the property.

Mr. Thukral is absolutely correct......i would further suggest that u can file a suit for declaration on the basis of the will that ur father did in ur favour.
but try to find out the contents of the document that ur other relatives made u to sign.
approach some local lawyer with all the documents intact so that confirm opinion can be made.

Dear Ricky,
At first you find out the said Will. Whether it was a registered or not?
If registered, dont worry about the signatures by you in the white papers.
Even if they made as a will, you can cancell it whenever you like before your death. If the Will of your father is a unregistered one you have to find it . Otherwise they will destroy it.
