Home / I am one of several brothers and sisters. Our mother, a widow, died recently. My elder brother claims that he alone should inherit our parent’s farm rather than all of us being entitled to equal shares because our late father nominated him as the ‘ continuing son’ many years ago . As far as I know our mother never signed this nomination, just our father. Is my eldest brother right ?
