My elder brother passed away, leaving his share of our ancestral land to his son. My younger brother then sold this land to a third party without my knowledge or consent. They forged documents without my signature, and are now offering me a small piece of land in exchange. Can they legally sell the land without proper division among us brothers? We’ve obtained a stay order, but they’re threatening us and construction has already begun.

Your younger brother’s sale of the ancestral land without your consent and forged documents are illegal. The sale is invalid, and you can challenge it in court. The stay order you obtained protects you from further construction, and you should seek legal advice on pursuing a claim for rightful division of the ancestral property.
