Hi,
Once the self owned property is transfered to mxt heir the property will come under realm of ancestors property. And will continue to be partitioned under ancestral only. Each member of family has equal right over that property.
Now if your siblings include you and your 2 brothers. The property will be transfered to all the siblings equally. You have the equal right over the property as ur brothers enjoying.
As per ur query yes you have your share in the property. Equal share. And you can also call for partition in court.
If you like my answer kindly rate me.
