I am 21 years old when i married against my families' wishes. Since then, my brother stopped talking to me. After marriage my mother promised to give some money as gift and kept it separately with one of my relatives. she also communicated this matter to other relatives also. Meanwhile she also nominated my name for some bank accounts also. The gift money is equivalent to total money in bank accounts. After my mother's death, my brother has given me only the bank accounts money and refused to give the gift money... He says that he has pledged the bank documents for a loan when my mother was alive and therefore after her death he repaid the bank loan using my gift money. He is arguing that since my mother only promised me money, i can take the bank money instead of gift. Please advice?
Thanks in advance.......
