I would advise you to issue a strongly worded legal notice to your brother thereby restraining him to do such illegal acts. Do also issue a letter to the bank managers of the concerned branch to seeking clarification regarding this.

Yes he will be allowed being the legal heir Your mother is not in conscious state of mind therefore he can get that in the interest of her with directpayments. However he can not rent the property in bombay.

Hi, There are likely chances that your brother might have taken permission from the District Magistrate to use the funds for the treatment of your mother. There is a provision in law under which your brother have got the right to take care of estate of your mother. Thanks Ramit Sehrawat Advocate
