Can one heir sell property without the other heir's permission?

My mother sold some jeweler belonging to my late father after his death. She squandered the money. This jewelry was meant to be divided among legal heirs equally. I received nothing. Two years ago, she secretly gifted land belonging owned by her to my brother. Given that she was in "debt" to me due to the jewelry transfer, can I lay claim to the house she gifted him? Also, what is the statue of limitations on making a claim to this house? Is it 3 years or 12 years?

if you can prove that your mother owed you money from the sale of your father's jewelry, you may be able to argue that the gift to your brother was fraudulent. This is because a person cannot give away property that they do not own. For further enquiry contact us on helpline number.
