In this case you need to immediately hire a lawyer. However you can also file a recovery suit in this regard for the recovery of money.you can also file a civil suit with the provisions of special Relief act.
You can file a recovery suit in this regard
Order 37 CPC is one of the best provisions in the hands of a proposed Plaintiff, wanting to institute a Civil Suit. Broadly it states as under:
Rule 1, Sub-Rule 2 makes it applicable to all suits upon bills of exchange, hundies and promissory notes or the ones in which a Plaintiff seeks only to recover a debt or liquidated demand in money payable on a written contract, an enactment, where the sum to be recovered is a fixed sum of money or in nature of any debt except penalty, a guarantee - in respect of a debt or liquidated demand.

Rule 2 requires an Order 37 Suit to contain among others, a specific averment that the Suit is filed under this Order and no relief which does not fall within the ambit of this Rule is claimed.

1st I have to clear that if you want to money then you can not get back your's share property. However your younger brother file a civil suit then you also engage your Advocate in this case in way partition either you get back your money or property.
