Does your brother have any proof that he gave money to his father at the time of purchasing the property? or is he the joint owner of the property?
If the answer of the above questions is NO then in such a case -
You will have a share in the property along with one share each of your brother and mother.

Since your brother is claiming whole property, he will have to get the Will probated and you can contest it if in your opinion it is false.

You can also file a suit for partition claiming that your father died intestate.
