you may go for cancellation of the sale and the copy of will can be obtained from the office of sub registrar. regarding the time period in gujarat, that cannot be ascertained by any stretch of imagination.
What your brother has done to you that amount to cheating . You can challenge the will which would have an effect on the sale of the of the property . If the will is forged one then sale through the will goes.
