Will my father have a share in a home he constructed for my brother?

My father gave an enormous amount of money to construct a household home for my brother 15 years in the past after promoting his property and different property (gold, retirement financial savings, and so forth.) 

Thereafter, my brother constructed the home and registered it in his identify with an implicit understanding that he’ll care for the dad and mom. 

Later, he raised loans in opposition to the identical home and is now discovering it troublesome to repay them. 

Now, he plans to promote the household home (registered in his identify, although constructed with the money given by my father). After the sale, he plans to repay his loans and transfer elsewhere.

In this state of affairs, do I’ve any authorized recourse to assert any inheritance? Does my father stand to make any have any beneficial properties from the sale? 

Can the home be thought of as ancestral property to be divided equally amongst siblings or is it owned by my brother alone?
