your brother's family will claim adverse possession only after passing of 12 years and they have to show that you had knowledge about their claim.....
generally limitation is three years for claiming your right.. but if you show it was a joint property.. your brother had predeceased mother.. and now you can ask for partition of the property...

There is no limiation period perios.If you are the legal heir you can claim the share any time.You may plead that you have allowed them to stay in the property and did not claim share due to reasons.... and they were staying and occupying your share on licenceee basis.
