My mom died last December 2007, since then this adopted brother (or shall i say the real mom) running after his part from the land (part of my mom) and sent me death threath messages that if i dont give him his part he will kill me.

My Question is: Does he really still had a part of that land? can i file a case to him with this death threaths messages? Please HELP me.. my mind is now tortured in all of this things, i cannot do any steps from now coz i am in Germany and am scared maybee he do something with my dad who is now looking after in the land.

If the property has been sold to you at the time that your mom and uncle were alive then this adopted brother has no right at all. It was totally different if the sale took place after the death of the vendors. As to the death threat have it recorded on the police blotter.
