Your grandfather was in the registered partition deed, added your brother as a beneficiary, and being a minor natural father is the guardian. Hence, he is eligible for his share.

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 28 May 2026
If your elder brother was one of the shareholders in the partition deed, then he is entitled for his separate share in the property along with his share as a successor in interest to succeed to your father's estates along with his siblings.
Since the matter is bit complicated hence any further advise or opinion can be rendered only after scrutiny of the property related documents, therefore you may consult an experienced advocate in the local and proceed as suggested.
