Under Indian law, your brothers have no legal right to claim a share in your Mumbai flat unless you have specifically gifted it to them or made them joint owners in the property deed. As the sole buyer and owner, you have full ownership rights.

My grandfather passed away, leaving a will that divided his property between his two sons and daughter. My aunt, his unmarried daughter, inherited a portion of the property. The will states that upon her passing, part of the property should go to her older brother and another part to her younger brother.
