Can a brother claim a share in brothers property.

There is no way your brother can claim share from your hard earned property as per The Hindu Succession Act, 1956. If the land or building is ancestral property then he will have share and have right to file a partition suit. Good luck

HI
Since the building is in your name ( We assume you purchased the land and building with your own money) and had the property registered in your name, it is your self acquired property and your brother cannot ask for his share.
I presume, your brother is asking for a share of this property under the pretext of ancestral property.
No worries. Let your brother file a partition suit in court and you may then produce the relevant title deeds to establish your ownership and get the case dismissed with in 1 year.
No Worries.
