originally your deceased farther and his brother being the legal heirs of your grand father are entitled to share 1/2 each in the property left by your father. As you have stated that your father died leaving yourself and your brother and you have not stated whether your mother is alive. however all the legal heirs of your father i.e. yourself your brother and if your mother is alive she, along with both of you are entitled to claim 1/2 share in the property. you can file a suit for partition and separate possession against surviving son of your grand father and his children claiming 1/2 share in the property.
